Excerpt
Excerpt: (1) 'Pain', painful feeling, which may be bodily and mental (s. vedana). (2) 'Suffering', 'Ill'. As the first of the four Noble Truths and the second of the three characteristics of existence the term 'dukkha' is not limited to painful experience, as under (1), but refers to the unsatisfactory nature and the general insecurity of all conditioned phenomena, which on account of their impermanence, are all liable to suffering; and this includes also pleasurable experience. Hence 'unsatisfactoriness' or 'liability to suffering' would be more adequate renderings, if not for stylistic reasons. Hence the first Truth does not deny the existence of pleasurable experience, as it is sometimes wrongly assumed.
