"Dukkha"

Author notes

"Dukkha"

Although dukkha is often translated as "suffering", its philosophical meaning is more complex. It also contains such deeper ideas as "imperfection", "unease", "anguish" and "unsatisfactoriness". "Suffering" is too narrow a translation and it is sometimes best to leave dukkha untranslated.
