Monks, there are two diseases, physical and mental. Among these, there are people who are healthy for a year, two, three, four, thirty, forty, fifty or even a hundred years without suffering from physical diseases. But it is difficult to find people who are not afflicted by mental illnesses even for a single moment, except the Arahats. (Anguttara Nikaya, Chatukka Nipata, Roga Sutra)
There is no doctor born in the world who is as skilled as the Buddha to cure the disease of the mind. The Buddha recognized the impurities in the human mind and gave the appropriate medicine. He met Sela Bamuna and said, Bamuna, I am Sambuddha. I am also the greatest surgeon. Said at one point. (Sutta Nipata - Sela Sutra)

This kind of dissatisfaction is called 'suffering' in Buddhism. These facts have spread today in all sections of the population. Every human being has reached this state without distinction. But instead of introducing it with the word 'sadness', they show it with 'Asahaya'.
