Question
How do you cope with these eight major sufferings:

1. Birth
2. Old age
3. Sickness
4. Death
5. Not get what one wants
6. Loose love one
7.  Mind and Body
8. Meeting your enemy

And how does it take to become a Buddha or each Nibbana (Nirvana)?

Answer
Hello Henry,
All these sufferings can be overcome by following the Noble 8fold Path, which is the Fourth of the Four Noble Truths, and which also takes you to Nirvana.
