Why do they have no sufferings? Answer: The sentient beings of that land are born by transformation in lotuses, so there is no suffering of birth. The four seasons cannot alter them, so there is no suffering of old age. Theirs are not fragmentary bodies, so there is no suffering of illness. Their lifespans are inexhaustible, so there is no suffering of death. There are no parents, relatives, or strangers, so there is no suffering of meeting with what is hated. Whatever they desire accords with their wishes, so there is no suffering of not getting what is sought. Their appearances are upright and dignified, so there is no suffering of deficient or ugly sense faculties. The four seasons are uniform, so there is no suffering of cold and heat. The conditioned physical forms of the Sahā world are pressed upon by the four vipers and have their lives harmed by the three dragons; with chaotic sicknesses and afflictions, death encroaches when retribution ends; what is loved must be separated from, and no hatred fails to be encountered. Because of delusion regarding ultimate truth, they arbitrarily suffer the entanglements of the aggregates. Now the crowd of compassionate ones is forever free from these; hence it is said that they have no sufferings. Not only are coarse sufferings immediately extinguished, but the wondrous fruit is also not far off. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.58) - [Next: 4.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.60) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a~en-mt.4.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.4.59) · Pramāṇa
