Usually translated as suffering but has a much wider sense than this. Dukkha can mean anything from acute agony or grief to a vague sense of dissatisfaction. Examples of Dukkha given by the Buddha include - being with someone you do not like and not being with someone you do like. There is even the concept of Sukkha-Dukkha (Sukkha is the opposite of Dukkha); even when you are in a thoroughly agreeable situation, this is also Dukkha, because it is impermanent. Dukkha is largely the effect of Anicca and Anatta. It is one of the three Signs of Being and its elimination is the primary aim of Buddhism. Translations include: Dis-ease, discomfort, frustration, pain, sorrow, misery, imperfection, impermanence, emptiness, insubstantiality, and more..
the First Noble Truth of Buddhism, i.e., that all life is suffering (impermanent). See Four Noble Truths. ("Elohist"): according to the Documentary Hypothesis, "E" is independently-created material incorporated into the Torah that makes extensive use of the Hebrew term Elohim ("gods") in reference to the God of Israel. It dates from the 9th-8th centuries BCE, sometime after the division of Israel into the Northern and Southern Kingdoms but prior to the Assyrian conquest in 722 BCE. "E" was likely compiled by an author in the Northern Kingdom.
Dukkha (PÄli दà¥à¤•à¥à¤– ; according to grammatical tradition from Sanskrit "uneasy", but according to Monier-Williams more likely a Prakritized form of "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, aversion and frustration. The term is probably derived from duḥstha, "standing badly," "unsteady," "uneasy."
