Out of samsara,get rid of suffering and gain pleasure are the common purpose of the Indian religious and views.Indian society generally believes that the existence of human beings is bitter,suffering andMoksha becoming a major model of ancient Indian religious thought.The essence of this idea and the cognitive model is a reflection of the innate character of man's own existence.In the early days of the Vedic,the Aryans praised the beauty of nature,the sun,the glow,the mountains,the rivers,and so on.At that time people generally have a strong sense of life.According to the study of the Vedas,Max Muller argues that the Sense of Awe and religious feelings arise from the Perceive and grasp of infinite.This article further pointed out that with the maturity of human mind and the awakening of self-consciousness,this infinite perceptionmakes people more aware of their finiteness and insignificant.therefore,there is atension and contradiction betweenlimited "self" and infinite "nature",and then developed the concept and thinking mode of suffering and Moksha.After the formation and rigidity of the social caste system in India and the ritualization and formalization ofsacrifice,the whole society was in a dull atmosphere.and the self was more tied to man-made rituals and rules.The accumulation of this emotion later inspired the thought of "self" and the desire toget rid of suffering.In the era of Upanishads,people's attention shifted from the tedious external ritual to the contemplation of the existence and meaning of the present,they think there is a only constant existence in the meditation and dhyana,that is"brahma"."brahma is Atman”has been thinkas a way to samsara,but this concept only care aboutbrahma,ignoring the existence and the situation of the people themselves,the self will lost in the faith of brahma.Buddha reestablished the humanistic perspective and humanistic care and transferhis perspective from the "Upanishads" attention of God(brahma)down to the people themselves,Buddha is man-centered and confronted with limited man.Buddha put the idea of life is bitter form the experience and observation of life,from the"impermanence" and "death" of the discovery.Furthermore,Buddha has rationally thought about the connotation of the suffering and its essence.How did the "Atman"reach the "Brahma",which was considered the only way to escape by the Brahmins in the Buddha era.Buddha put aside this cognitive path andpay attention to the person's own existence and their life course.Buddha did not find a constant autonomy subject through rational analysis.This discovery of Buddha can be said to be very subversive.thus,brahma is questioned or denied also means that the original moksa routeis denied.Life is suffering in nature emerged from the shroud of Purushaat the same time.The situation of man's isolation is also revealedwhen the faith of the Purusha was destroyed.In addition,The Buddha argued that no permanent,unchanging "self" can be found also means that life and the world are not perfect,but "There is a tendency to pursue perfection in human nature,and the true perfection is non-existent in the world.In the pursuit and exploration of all this,there are contradictions,conflicts,and sufferings." Finally,people Persistence "Niratta" to "Atta" and "my",covered under the "avidyaa",In the pull of the "kamatanha",people have been more troubled by the sufferings and pain.In the end,Buddha has established his "duhkha-satya" from the impermanent intuition of life experience and from rational analysis of the human and their life.The cognitive attitude and ethical norms of "Anatta" is the home for "duhkha-satya",in the process of communication and development,duhkha-satya had gradually combined the original reincarnation and other concepts.in secular life On the bitter life of the meaning of the liberation of secular life into the hardships.In the end,the bitter self-liberation implication into "everything is bitter" cognitive and ethical care.in secular life,the meaning of moksa of duhkha-satya transformed into the meaning of The plight of the secular life,and finally transformed into the cognitive and ethical care about "everything is suffering"...
