Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraDuḥkhadarśana (दुःखदर्शन) refers to “seeing suffering”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 7.—Accordingly: “[Question]:—What is it that is called ‘all aspects’ (sarvākāra) and what is it that is called ‘all dharmas’ (sarvadharma)? [Answer]:—[...] There are groups of seven dharmas: dharmas to be abandoned by seeing suffering (duḥkhadarśana-heya); dharmas to be abandoned, respectively, by seeing the origin, the cessation and the Path; dharmas to be abandoned by meditation and dharmas not to be abandoned. These various groups of six dharmas and the innumerable other [groups] of dharmas include all dharmas. That is what is meant by sarvadharma”.
