on what the Buddha taught
In the sermons (e.g. SN38.14, SN45.165, DN33) three types of suffering are named, but I have not seen them there explained. They are explained outside the sermons, but in so far I have seen them they led to weird implications. Let me then offer an alternative.
1. Dukkhadukkhatā
Dukkha due to suffering (dukkha). And what is suffering? Birth, oldness-and-death. This doesn’t mean one must feel sorrow or have an unhappy life. One can be very happy and joyful in this life. The point is that when there is no security from them, sooner or later, grievous things will happen for sure.
2. Saṅkhāradukkhatā
Dukkha due to inclination (Saṅkhāra, see ‘Knowing’). Sometimes people keep making bad decisions and suffer the consequences. It might seem as if they just can’t help themselves, as if they are wired that way (inclined). They are more inclined to act out of greed, hatred and delusion.
3. Vipariṇāmadukkhatā
Dukkha due to change for the worse (vipariṇāma). We might get robbed, our environment may have to deal with severe weather conditions, we might get sick, our countries might get into war, etc. All these sort of things, when run out of luck (so to speak) or in case of force majeure, fall under change-for-the-worse.
Free from Suffering
Normally when suffering from a painful bodily or mental feeling both and a bodily and a mental feeling are felt. Which might give the impression of this inseparable blob of suffering. Even so, that is not what suffering is. Just like happiness is not defined by happy feelings (whatever happiness there is, that is the happiness), so is suffering not defined by painful feelings. A virtuous one can still feel bodily feelings (feelings are one of the five masses) but without the suffering that comes from being attached to it. Or to any of the other khandhā for that matter.
Then for a virtuous one there is no:
