SUFFERING

The issue of suffering is found in Vedanta and Buddhism alike.  The term for it in Buddhism is dukkha.

According to Buddhist psychology, life is not all suffering, but largely it is.  Every moment of life when happiness and inner peace are absent is a moment of suffering.  

When we are rushing, impatient, irritated, frustrated, anxious, angry, fearful, bored, sad, or jealous, when we are filled with desire for something we want that we do not have, or feel aversion for something we do have but that we do not want, we are suffering. 

When we are reliving a painful experience from our past or imagining a future one, we are suffering. Nothing on this planet is free of it. Even long-time Buddhists who endeavor to not suffer still do so, because no one can eliminate all of his sources of suffering.
