| | Dukkha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Siddartha Gautama, the 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 other three Noble Truths explain the source of dukkha, the means of transforming it, and the method of executing its cessation. | | | The term is probably derived from duḥstha, "standing badly," "unsteady," "uneasy." Dukkha is the focus of the Four Noble Truths, including the first: |

| | 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. | | | The Buddha is said to have made no other claim than that he was the teacher of the fact of suffering, its origin, cause, and remedy (the Four Noble Truths). |

| | Dark Zen - Towards an Ontology of Suffering and Compassion |
| | The Sanskrit etymology of dukkha undeniably embodies a negative element, reflected in the prefix "du", the opposite of "su" (equivalent to the Greek "eu", as in euphoria, euthanasia). | | | This reworking of the classic Buddhist understanding of dukkha as suffering is placed at the ontic level, the result of clinging. | | | The key Pali term used by the Buddha in the First Noble Truth is "dukkha", usually translated as "suffering". |

| | Bhikkhave, dukkham ariya-saccam: jatipi dukkha, jarapi dukkha vyadipi dukkho, maranampi dukkham, appiyehi sampayogo dukkho, piyehi vippayogo dukkho, yam piccam na labhati tampi dukkham, samkhittena pancupada-nakkhanda dukkha. | | | Accordingly, jati (rebirth) being the foundation of all the miseries of the whole existence, is defined as dukkha by the Buddha. | | | Were we to take that the Buddha gave at the very first discourse a definition of dukkha sacca which is different from other versions, it would amount to holding the view that the Buddha started off at the first discourse with one definition of dukkha, then changing it later to a different version. |

| | This is called the Noble Truth of the Cessation of dukkha (Dukkhanirodha-ariyasacca), which is Nibbana, more popularly known in its Sanskrit form of Nirvana. | | | But the term dukkha as the First Noble Truth, which represents the Buddha's view of life and the world, has a deeper philosophical meaning and connotes enormously wider senses. | | | The realization of this Truth, i.e., to see things as they are (yathabhutam) without illusion or ignorance (avijja) is the extinction of craving 'thirst' (Tanhakkhaya), and the cessation (Nirodha) of dukkha, which is Nirvana. |
