That contaminated physical form itself is the suffering of pervasiveness. This third type of suffering is called the suffering of collective pervasiveness and it refers to the continuity of the physical form which is the product of delusions and karma, and it pervades all realms of samsara, from the highest to the lowest. It is called ‘collective’ because this body is like a magnet which attracts, or collects, every type of suffering.
