Question

Original-language term required. A meditation mantra promoted by Thích Nhất Hạnh analogizes this concept to the mud in which a lotus may grow. A sutta titled for this concept opens by stating that its three types are caused by changes, formations, and a form of this concept that is intuitively detected. The First Sermon equates this concept to the five bundles of “grasping fuel.”. According to a passage in the Dhammapada, one becomes “weary of” this concept after realizing all conditioned phenomena are non-self or anattā, are impermanent or anicca, and are this concept. (-5[1])The second noble truth teaches that samudaya and this concept cause taṇhā, or craving, while the first noble truth states that this thing is characteristic of life in saṃsāra. For 10 points, in Buddhist thought, all existence is characterized by what concept that is often translated as “pain” or “suffering”? ■END■ (10[1])
