What is Suffering?
Dukkha ("Not being at ease", "Suffering"), is an innate characteristic of the perpetual cycle of grasping at things, ideas and habits.
The Noble Truth of Dukkha:
Now this, Bhikkhus (Monks), is the Noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering.
