Dukkha, often translated as "suffering," is at the heart of the four noble truths of Buddhism. But dukkha is about much more than suffering: it also means stress, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction. Its opposite is sukha, which means pleasure, happiness, and comfort. "Dukkha is sucky, but sukha is ducky." Treeleaf Jundo Cohen, The Zen Master's Dance Theme music by Kiku Day.
