	duhkha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Duhkha is separation from the object of desire.
		Duhkha is not romantic - it is the tragic illusion of the absoluteness of what is not absolute - it is the absence of what we think is there, or hope is there, or desperately wish were there.
		Duhkha is an offence that cannot be ignored, because it is truth.

		Duhkha is something more than the everyday suffering that most people encounter at some time or other.
		To Buddhists, the entire universe is subject to duhkha, and none--neither gods nor demons, neither those dwelling in hell or heaven--are exempt from it.
		Duhkha has three elements: the duhkha of suffering in the psychological sense; the 'metaphysical duhkha' that reveals the perpetual flux of all that there is, and the duhkha of that which conditions the very essence of being.

		Duhkha is central to the Buddhist tradition; being the basis for many early doctrines, most of which remain common to Buddhism today.
		Suffering as pertaining to duhkha refers not only to the mental, but also to the physical and emotional suffering we as human beings go through in both gross and subtle forms.
		Trsna shows that duhkha is the result of longing for that which is not, or rather pining for what was or in some cases having hope for what might come to pass.

		The origin of duhkha is usually described as “thirst,” desire, or craving.

	Duhkha and September 11 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Buddhism teaches that duhkha, however real it may seem in our lives right now, is not ultimately real.
		The Buddha taught the Path to the overcoming of duhkha.
		This is one of the ways you can look at the Buddhadharma: duhkha is caused by our limiting ourselves by not only cutting ourselves off from the rest of humanity, indeed from all sentient beings, but also cutting ourselves off from the deepest and most valuable part of our own body-mind.

	Karuna Yoga - Frank Jude's Karuna Notes
		Duhkha means "bad" or "wrong space" and was used at the time of the Buddha to describe an axle that was misaligned from the center of a wheel.
		The Buddha said that to have duhkha and not recognize it, or to be unaware that duhkha is present, is an even worse condition, an even worse duhkha than duhkha alone.
		Most of the time, when duhkha begins to arise, we try to deny it, mask it or cover it over with some form of entertainment and distraction, attempting to push it away from ourselves forcefully.

		Duhkha carries the meanings of unhappiness, disatisfaction, unease and suffering.
		The Buddha did not say that since duhkha is the mark of existence, accept duhkha or glorify it.

	Teaching's on No-Self
		Twenty-five centuries ago when the Buddha turned the wheel of the Dharma and began to teach, he presented a philosophy which differed significantly from the current belief systems of India, by presenting a profound spiritual path, which had at its very core a denial of God and soul.
		The Buddha stated that for us to become free from the constant round of rebirth and suffering, we would need to realize the changing nature of things in its true perspective, so that we could free ourselves from the need for certain experiences, attachment to self and to the illusion of permanence.
		One of the major causes of duhkha is our puny attempts to make impermanent things permanent.

	On Yoga Philosophy
		In yogic terminology, the term duhkha is used to collectively imply sources of suffering such as anxiety, distress, depression, pain, disease, grief, stress, etc. Its opposite is suhkha which denotes all bliss and joy.
		Yoga philosophy claims that the way to eliminate duhkha is through the elimination of its cause which it refers to as avidya.
		Fear, in general, and abhinivesha (fear of death), in particular, compounds the effects of our myopic vision leading to even more duhkha.

		The end of pleasant experiences are duhkha: leaving high school friends behind, or leaving college friends behind.
		As the Buddha said, "Birth is sorrow, age is sorrow, disease is sorrow, death is sorrow; contact with the unpleasant is sorrow, separation from the pleasant is sorrow, every wish unfulfilled is sorrow.
		This is the truth that to eliminate duhkha we must eliminate desire.

		We should qualify that translation by saying that this does not mean that the Buddha didn’t acknowledge the existence of happiness or contentment in life.
		The point that he was making is that there is happiness and also sorrow in the world; but the reason why everything we experience in our everyday life is said to be duhkha is that even when we have some kind of happiness, it is not permanent; it is subject to change.
		According to the Buddha, even when we think we are trying to find real happiness, we are not doing it effectively, because we don’t have the right attitude and we don’t know where to look for it.

	Minimal view of Karma
		Nevertheless it is not difficult to see that something of the nature of karma is already there at the centre of Buddhist thought.
		Buddhism starts with the notion of duhkha (unsatisfactoriness), and the aim of Buddhist practice is the elimination of duhkha for all sentient beings.
		Now this already commits us to the view that Buddhist practice has consequences for the practitioner (it reduces duhkha), and the notion of action-as-having-con-sequences is central to the karma notion.

		Desikachar suggests that it is often those who are searching for clarity who feel duhkha particularly strongly, and refers the interested reader to Vyasa's commentary on Sutra 2.27, in which Vyasa describes seven steps towards true recognition of duhkha - the first step being awareness that something is not right.
		Desikachar then goes on to describe the relationship between purusha (the perceiver) and citta (the mind).

	Basic Teachings and Philosophical Doctrines of Buddhism
		I have seen people saying that the First Noble Truth is not really "suffering" but something more like unhappiness or dislocation, on the analogy that duhkha is about a chariot axle not working quite right.
		I see some texts claiming that this is the "deeper meaning" of duhkha.
		However, this does not fit the canonical examples of disease, old age, and death, which are things that are not merely unpleasant; and duhkha seems to be from the verb DU, which means "burn, be pained," so that duhkha can be merely "unpleasant" but also "pain, hardship, misery, suffering" [cf.

		Buddhism regards peace as an eternal law that informs conflict resolution.
		Buddhism holds that in human life there is suffering (duhkha); there is a cause of suffering (duhkha-samudaya); there is the cessation of suffering (duhkha-nirodha); and there is a path leading to the cessation of suffering (duhkha-nirodha-marga).
		These are what Buddhists call the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism.
