The Bodhisattvapiṭaka-sūtra states: "Humans are oppressed by ten sufferings: first, the suffering of birth; second, the suffering of old age; third, the suffering of illness; fourth, the suffering of death; fifth, the suffering of sorrow; sixth, the suffering of resentment; seventh, painful sensations; eighth, the suffering of grief; ninth, sickness and distress; tenth, the great suffering of cyclic rebirth." The eight stages of the human embryo: The Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra states: "First, kalala (the stage of embryonic coagulation upon conception); second, arbuda (resembling curd on the inside and outside); third, peśī (having reached the flesh stage, yet still extremely soft); fourth, ghana (firm and thick); fifth, praśākhā (the distinct appearance of limbs); sixth, the stage of hair and nails; seventh, the stage of sense faculties (all faculties clearly manifesting); eighth, the stage of bodily form (the physical bases distinctly appearing)." There are also the ten periods: the period of the membrane (the vesicle period, the blister period), the period of the flesh lump, the period of the five limbs (the five periods in the womb); the period of the infant, the period of the young child, the period of youth, the period of prime adulthood, and the period of old age and decline (the five periods among humans).
