Why does Buddhism think that pain comes from human desire?

Buddhism says that pain is reincarnation, birth and death, and the reason for reincarnation is ignorance. Ignorance is the root of other eleven industries, which is called twelve industries. I can't explain it clearly at once. I suggest you go to Baidu Encyclopedia -/view/8743.htm to check the twelve causes.

Let's make a simple personal explanation according to your question, but please refer to the twelve causes, not just my explanation:

The contact between people and the environment leads to our differences, what we like and what we love; What we hate, what we hate; It doesn't matter what we don't love or hate. And we love, if we can get it, of course we are happy, if we can't get it, we will be unhappy, even hate it, do bad things and so on; For example, if you love someone, but he/she doesn't love you, you will suffer. If someone takes away the person you love and the person who originally loved you and makes them stop loving you, you may hold a grudge or even take revenge. The only way is not to love anyone, but because of the cause and effect of III, it is sometimes difficult to do it, and giving up will bring pain. Of course, this is also a matter of karma. Some people give up easily, others will. The former means that I will "love" you, not because I like your appearance, figure, or even your so-called personality, temperament and connotation, but because I see that you are also a sentient being in reincarnation, and I can't get rid of it because of ignorance, so I naturally want to help you, but I don't love you because of who you are. I regard the pain of the reincarnation of all beings as my own personal pain. This is the so-called "love" in a broad sense that transcends gender and even species, but the word love is not enough to describe it.

Except for the love between men and women, everything else is the same, such as buying lottery tickets, you will be happy if you win, but not so happy if you don't win; If you buy a stock, you will be happy if it goes up, unhappy if it doesn't, disappointed, angry and afraid if it falls. If you find that someone is responsible for this, not the natural market economy, you will be even more angry. All this comes from your assumption that the stock will go up and I will make money. And if your assumption is that the stock will fall and you are really happy to lose money, you won't suffer. Of course, people's desire makes this assumption impossible, unless it is to set a trap for themselves and let them make money from other places.

The fundamental reason why we have this understanding of the environment and ourselves is ignorance, because all laws are actually self-less. Aren't all the examples I cited above because we have the concept of "I"? But think about it, where is this "me"? Is that me? Legs, right? Eyes, nose, ears, tongue, is that me? We say "my eyes" or even "my brain" instead of "my brain, my eyes", and if we think we are the brain, what is the driving force of the brain and what is dominating the brain? After analysis, you will finally find that the so-called me is just an illusion, the world is like a scam, and the liar is the so-called "me".

Specific can refer to the twelve karma, very detailed and thorough.

Another question has arrived. Who says it hasn't? Look here-

Buddhism in America and Europe. Buddhism has spread in Europe and America for about 150 years. But Europeans' initial understanding of Buddhism can be traced back to 329 BC, when Alexander the Great of Greece invaded the Indus Valley. In 259 BC, King Ashoka of the Indian Peacock Dynasty sent a Buddhist mission to Greece to preach. In the Middle Ages, the original story of the Buddha was introduced to Europe by Muslim scholars in Central Asia, and it was widely popular in many places in Western and Eastern Europe. According to the World Christian Encyclopedia 1982, there are more than 2 10000 Buddhists in Europe, close to 19000 in North America and more than 500000 in South America. Most of them are descendants or expatriates of Asian immigrants, belonging to many factions of Mahayana Buddhism spreading from south to north. After Buddhism spread to Europe and America, in order to adapt to the local social life, there have been many changes in precepts and rituals.

In Europe and America, the study of Buddhism preceded the spread of Buddhism. 17-18th century, some famous European philosophers, such as Spinoza, Kant and Hegel, all talked about Buddhism. Especially at the end of 18, after some capitalist countries in Europe colonized and expanded to Asia, they began to study eastern religions, especially influential Buddhism, in order to change the beliefs of local residents and make them become Christians.
