Hello Alice793 and thanks for all your improvements to this article. However, despite the improvements, the article fails criterion 2b since there are too many unreferenced paragraphs. Examples are the paragraphs starting with "In the 20th and 21st centuries,", "Constant dissatisfaction — duḥkha — is an intrinsic", and "In Buddhism, the concept of duḥkha". According to criterion 2b, these passages require inline citations "no later than the end of the paragraph". I suggest that you add all the relevant references before a renomination.

A few other observations

WP:EARWIG detects one potential copyvio but this is because of a quotation.
The article presents some WP:NPOV views in Wikivoice. They need to be attributed to a person or a school of thought. Spotting all these cases for an article of this length can be tricky. You could try sending it to WP:PEERREVIEW for a more thorough examination. Examples are
- Constant dissatisfaction — duḥkha — is an intrinsic mark of all sentient existence
- The person who attains this state of mind lives his life in complete peace and equanimity
since existence is bad, it would have been better had it not have been. I think the last "have" should be removed.
thus explaining what it means to feel better, all that just with relying on taking away disturbances. replace "with" with "by". Or express more directly as "all that just by taking away disturbances"
the article switches between English variants, e.g. "favour" (British English) and "behavior" (American English)
and thus is only experienced in an indirect or mediate way replace "mediate" with "mediated"
that the moral dillemas of life replace "dillemas" with "dilemmas"
But they do serve to clarify as to why there are cases remove "as to"
