Why did Buddha (Siddarhta Gautama) say we always have 83 implacable problems?
Why did Buddha (Siddarhta Gautama) say we always have 83 implacable problems?: "Here is a thought:
The Buddha said, ?Everyone has 83 problems. Sometimes we fix one, but it is guaranteed that another will pop up in its place. It?s just life. I can?t help you with your 83 problems, but I can fix your 84th problem.?
?What is my 84th problem??.
?Your 84th problem is that you don?t want to have any problems.?
Buddhism helps you with the 84th problem, which is suffering over the other 83 problems. If you can approach your other problems without the computational overhead of suffering over them, you can see them more clearly and act on them with more wisdom.
