	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Dukkha
		Dukkha (Pāli दुक्ख ;; according to grammatical tradition from Sanskrit dus-kha "uneasy", but according to Monier-Williams more likely a Prakritized form of dus-stha "unsteady, disquieted") is a central concept in Buddhism, the word roughly corresponding to a number of terms in English including sorrow, suffering, affliction, pain, anxiety, dissatisfaction, discomfort, anguish, stress, misery, and aversion.
		Dukkha is the appearance to the mind of the habits of millions of years evolution, of attempting to get the competitive edge, of never being satisfied with second place, of perpetual restlessness.
		Threefold dukkha is ordinary physical and mental pain, that is, pure or intrinsic suffering, suffering as the result of change, suffering owing to the impermanent and ephemeral nature of things; and sufferings due to the formations of individuals and their temporal or finite states.

	Dukkha
		Dukkha, or duhkha (Pali, Sanskrit) is the second of the Three Marks of Existence in Buddhism and is subject to the Four Noble Truths.
		For the Buddhist, the primary characteristic of sentient existence is the fact of dukkha.
		However, what it does maintain is that people's conception of happiness, their attachment to and yearning after it, will sooner or later bring sorrow because the object of happiness is impermanent (anicca).

	The First Noble Truth
		"Now this, monks, is the Noble Truth of dukkha: Birth is dukkha, aging is dukkha, death is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair are dukkha; association with the unbeloved is dukkha; separation from the loved is dukkha; not getting what is wanted is dukkha.
		"Birth is dukkha, aging is dukkha, death is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair are dukkha; association with what is not loved is dukkha, separation from what is loved is dukkha, not getting what is wanted is dukkha.
		From the cessation of craving is the cessation of dukkha; and just this noble eightfold path — right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration — is the path of practice leading to the cessation of dukkha.

	Ayya Khema: Dukkha for Knowledge and Vision
		If dukkha is seen as the necessary ingredient to spur one on to leave samsara behind, then one's positive attitude will point in the right direction.
		The understanding of dukkha has to be firm, in order to arouse trust in that part of the teaching which one hasn't experienced oneself yet.
		When we try to escape from dukkha by either forgetting about it, running away from it, blaming someone else, becoming depressed by it or feeling sorry for ourselves, we are creating more dukkha.

	Dukkha, Dawkins, Darwinism and the selfish gene in Buddhist philosophy
		Dukkha is sometimes translated as suffering but in actual fact encompasses all senses of unsatisfactoriness, even including pleasure (which evolution has contrived will always be a transient sensation - lest it detract too much from the grim business of survival).
		Dukkha is the appearance to the mind of the habits of millions of years evolution, of attempting to get the competitive edge, of never being satisfied with second place, of perpetual restlessness.
		The first step is to recognise the inevitability of dukkha - the sense of unsatisfactoriness and the certainty of ultimate loss of everything, which haunts all sentient beings even in the absence of manifest suffering.

		Dukkha often translates as "suffering", but it also means the quality of unsatisfactoriness and uncertainty related to change.
		The second type of dukkha involves the paradox of living in happy and pleasant states and yet knowing these beautiful moments are transient and must inevitably change and disappear.
		The last type of dukkha involves the suffering engendered from clinging to the belief that transitory manifestations of sensations, thoughts, feelings and emotions, are a solid and concrete self which is usually labelled, by each of, us as "I", "mine", or "myself" (Rahula, 1959).

	Four Noble Truths
		Dukkha is the condition of unsatisfactoriness or imperfection present in all impermanent, conditioned things.
		The pervasiveness of dukkha is the first of the Four Noble Truths, that life is sometimes painful and filled with suffering, but even when it’s not, existence is marked or colored by dissatisfaction or unrest.
		Sometimes this teaching on dukkha is misunderstood to mean that birth, old age, sickness and death are themselves dukkha, but these are just its vehicles; and birth, old age, sickness, and death, if they are not clung to as "I" or "mine," cannot be dukkha.

	For You Buddhism Articles - Critical Examination Of The Concept Of Dukkha In Buddhism
		Analyzing "dukkha" in the abhidhammic context, "dukkha" refers to physical and bodily pain whilst the term "domanassa" renders as mental pain (displeasure).
		The recognition of "dukkha" is central to Lord Buddha Gotama's teaching and its ultimate eradication is the summa bonum of Buddhist way of life.
		The annilihation of "dukkha" is therefore seen as ending the individual's ceaseless wanderings in samsara.

	Dukkha (Suffering Or Dissatisfaction) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The word dukkha can mean either physical or mental suffering, or the suffering which is inherent in change and comparison, and also the suffering caused by our clinging to things which are impermanent.
		The third kind of dukkha is the most important; it is to the fact that all things are conditioned and therefore cannot remain the same for ever.
		The dukkha we experience in life is not a punishment for wrong-doing, there is no one sitting in judgement on us, rather is it the result of our search for happiness or pleasure in what is not capable of reliably providing it.

	Respect for Buddhism
		Its is dukkha not because there is suffering, in the ordinary sense of the word, but because whatever is impermanent is dukkha...
		The conception of dukkha may be viewed from three aspects:(1)dukkha as ordinary suffering(2)dukkha as produced by change(3)dukkha as conditioned states...
		Even this thirst which is considerd as the cause or origin of dukkha, depends for its arising on something else, which is sensation, and sensation arises depending on contact, and so on, and forth goes on the circle which is known as conditoned genesis.

		By this is meant dukkha that comes under our immediate observation, but which does not primarily involve ourselves; street accidents, the sick neighbor, the live thrush caught in a strawberry net.
		The effect was intended to be cathartic: by witnessing dukkha on an Olympian scale the spectators gained a sense of proportion, and were purged of their own emotions.
		Dukkha, which is always associated with some kind of emotion, shows out physically in a number of ways.

		The concept of dukkha is fundamental in Buddhism.
		The other three Noble Truths state the origin of dukkha, that it can be eliminated (the state of Nirvana, Sanskrit form, or nibbana, Pali form), and the Buddha's method for eliminating it, the Noble Eightfold Path).
		The Buddha repeatedly stated that the only purpose of his system of thought was the cessation of dukkha, and refused to join in speculation about metaphysical subjects which would not advance this end.

	Welcome to The World Buddhist University
		To deal with the problem of Dukkha, which is what the Buddha’s teaching is for, means to confront fundamental issues of personal existence as a human being.
		Yet, we are not aware of the Dukkha present in neutral feelings that the Buddha taught along with the cessation or extinction of Dukkha.
		Dukkha deals with the nature of subjectivity, not processes of rocks or trees or all those natural processes of the universe.

	Four Noble Truths K
		Dukkha contains not only the ordinary meaning of suffering, but also includes deeper ideas such as imperfection, pain, impermanence, disharmony, discomfort, irritation, or awareness of incompleteness and insufficiency.
		By all means, Dukkha includes physical and mental suffering: birth, decay, disease, death, to be united with the unpleasant, to be separated from the pleasant, not to get what one desires.
		Had the Buddha stopped at the Truth of Dukkha, then one may say Buddhism has identified the problem but has not given the cure; if such is the case, then the human situation is hopeless.

		In contrast, the teaching of dukkha - of sorrow and lamentation, pain, grief and despair - by the Buddha long before Pompeii was buried in ash, appears as joylessness, pessimism, weariness and melancholia, sullen, forlorn, even cynical.
		Dukkha is the key to the whole of the Buddha's Teaching.
		Time and again he says, 'Both formerly, monks, and now, it is dukkha that I make known and the cessation of dukkha.' But the Teaching is profound, difficult, subtle, inviting investigation, and as he says, it is to be experienced privately by the wise.
