oh dear

Buddha taught the absolute truth. this is why he was called Buddha ('Enlightened')

can you refute the following absolute truths?

1. the state of (psychological) suffering is when the mind is clinging to things as 'I', 'me', 'mine' or 'person'. can you provide evidence for psychological suffering that is devoid of such 'self' obsession? for example, when a knife cuts the finger, is the suffering the physical pain? Or is the suffering the 'self-reference', namely, "the knife cut me; I hurt; I am in pain"?

2. suffering arises due to desire/craving that leads to 'self-becoming'. can you provide evidence of suffering occurring without desire/craving & self-becoming?

3. suffering ends when desire ends. can you provide evidence to show the state of desirelessness is not peaceful?

4. all 'conditioned' things (i.e., that rely on causes for their existence) are impermanent. can you provide evidence of anything that is born that does not grow old & die (cease)?

5. all conditioned things cannot bring lasting happiness. can you provide evidence of anything (conditioned) that can bring lasting happiness? for example, can the most beautiful woman in the world bring you 100% happiness for 100% of your life? if you had $100 billion, can $100 billion bring you 100% happiness for 100% of your life?

6. all conditioned things are 'not-self'. can you provide evidence that things actually belong to you; that you can possess them forever?

the above 6 are from the first 7 revelations of Buddha. can you refute any of them to deny they are the absolute truth ?
