Gain (Profit/Possessions): Receiving wealth, benefits, or material/mental acquisition in life.
Loss: Decline, reduction, or disappearance of what has been gained or possessed.
Praise: Approval, respect, fame, or positive recognition from others.
Blame: Criticism, rejection, loss of reputation, or being held at fault by others.
Success: Strong achievement and public recognition, often more intense than praise, including high performance and visibility.
Failure: Discredit, defeat, or inability to meet goals, leading to rejection or low status.
Pleasure: Pleasant experiences and enjoyable sensations that arise in life and are usually sought after.
Pain (Suffering / Absence of pleasure): Unpleasant experiences, discomfort, or dissatisfaction when pleasure is absent or conditions are adverse.
Core Teaching (summary):
All eight are temporary worldly conditions that constantly change. The teaching emphasizes not depending on any of them for inner peace, but cultivating awareness, ethics, and wisdom so the mind remains balanced regardless of gain or loss, praise or blame, success or failure, pleasure or pain.
