The Buddha shows his disciples how to care for the sick and dying through his own actions.

The four universal sufferings: birth, aging, sickness, and death. Various sutras describe Shakyamuni’s quest for enlightenment as motivated by a desire to find a solution to these four sufferings. Shakyamuni awakened to these sufferings through four encounters known as the “four meetings” that took place around the grounds of his father’s palace when he was a young prince. This awakening is what motivated him to renounce secular life and pursue the religious path in order to attain enlightenment, thus acquiring the four virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.
