About Suffering

In Dharma traditions, suffering is a central concept. Hinduism sees suffering as a result of karma and ignorance, overcome through righteous living (Dharma) and seeking moksha. Buddhism identifies suffering (dukkha) as inherent in life, with its cessation achievable through the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. Jainism attributes suffering to karmic bonds, advocating non-attachment and asceticism for liberation. Sikhism views suffering as a result of ego (haumai) and separation from God, remedied by devotion (Naam) and righteous living.
