Explanation:
 Buddhism identifies three types of suffering:

  • Duhkha-duhkhatta (daily life events)
  • Samkara-duhkhatta (internal/mental and sense organ-related suffering)
  • Viparinama-duhkhatta (suffering due to impermanence)
  • There is no mention of suffering due to “permanent happiness”—in fact, permanence is not accepted in Buddhism.
