In Buddhism
Chinese Buddhism
苦諦 [ku di]—duḥkaha-ārya-satyam. The first of the four dogmas, that of suffering; v. 苦集 [ku ji].
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
苦諦 [ku di]—Truth of Suffering — [Term] One of the Four Noble Truths (四諦 [si di]). The karmic retribution (果報 [guo bao]) of birth and death (生死 [sheng si]) in the three realms (三界 [san jie]) is ultimately suffering and affliction (苦患 [ku huan]), without any nature of peace or happiness (安樂 [an le]). This principle is definitively true, hence it is called the Truth of Suffering. See the entry for the Noble Truth of Suffering (苦聖諦 [ku sheng di]).
苦諦—【術語】四諦之一。三界生死之果報，畢竟苦患，無有安樂之性，此理決定真實，謂之苦諦。見苦聖諦條。(苦聖諦)
