Suffering (Dukkha)

Suffering, or Dukkha, is a fundamental concept in Buddhism that recognizes all aspects of life involve some form of dissatisfaction or discomfort. It reflects the natural state of impermanence, where change and loss are inevitable, leading to feelings of unease or unhappiness. Dukkha is not only about pain or sorrow but also encompasses the general sense that nothing in life fully satisfies or provides lasting happiness. Understanding Dukkha encourages a deeper awareness of life's transient nature, inspiring a pursuit of inner peace and liberation through mindful acceptance and spiritual growth.
