A poem from "Ode to the Western Capital" by Ban Gu, a writer and historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original text is: When I first entered the mortal world, I didn’t know the sufferings of the world, but suddenly I looked back and was already a person in suffering. This glass contains three parts wine, and this wine contains seven parts sorrow. It is difficult to pass the pass, and it is difficult to stay up night after night. May all the love, hatred, and hatred in this world be dissolved in wine, and let this dust and dust be turned into wine to soothe your sorrows in one drink!
Human suffering: The eight kinds of suffering in life mentioned in Buddhism are the suffering of birth, suffering of old age, suffering of illness, suffering of death, suffering of separation from love, suffering of resentment and hatred, suffering of not being able to seek what you want, and suffering of the five yin beings burning. The phrase "When you first enter the world of mortals, you don't know the sufferings of the world." It means that you have just entered the society, are not deeply involved in the world, and do not understand the various sufferings in the world. People can grow through experience, and only by going through everything can they mature.
