Dukkha (Pali; Sanskrit: duḥkha) 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. The term is probably derived from duḥstha, "standing badly," "unsteady," "uneasy." ''Dukkha'' is the focus of the Four Noble Truths, including the first: :''All of life involves dukkha.'' The other three Noble Truths explain the source of ''dukkha'', the means of eliminating it, and the method of executing its cessation. This method is known as the Noble Eightfold Path. Gautama Buddha repeatedly stated that the ''only'' purpose of Buddhism is to seek the cessation of ''dukkha'', by understanding the Four Noble Truths and acting accordingly. The Buddha discussed three kinds of dukkha. * Dukkha-dukkha (all pervading pain) is the obvious sufferings of physical pain, illness, old age, death, the loss of a loved one. * Viparinama-dukkha (pain of alternation) is suffering caused by change: violated expectations, the failure of happy moments to last. * Sankhara-dukkha (pain of pain) is a subtle form of suffering inherent in the nature of conditioned things, including the Skandha, the factors constituting the human mind. ''Dukkha'' is also listed among the three marks of existence. == External links == * At ''[http://www.accesstoinsight.org Access to Insight]:'' ** ''[http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dukkha.html entry on Dukkha]'' ** ''Wings to Awakening: [http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/modern/wings/3h2.html The First Truth]'' *[http://www.acmuller.net/cgi-bin/search-ddb4.pl?Terms=苦 Digital Dictionary of Buddhism] (log in with userID "guest") Buddhist philosophical concepts Buddhist terms bo:sdug bsngal
