Life is full of dissatisfactions and Dukka are the experiences we have in our lives. For example, birth, aging, sickness and death. We cannot run away from this experiences as it is part if our lives.

The Second Noble Truth: The Truth of the origin of Dukka

People are always dissatisfied with their lives. People always have cravings, anger, hatred, aversion and ignorance as part of them. This causes our lives to be dissatisfied.

Buddha then tells us that life can be without Dukka. This state of bliss can only be achieved when life is without any dissatisfactions. When achieved this state, one is considered Enlightened or Awaken from the dissatisfaction of life.

The Fourth Noble Truth: The Truth of the path leading to the end of Dukka

This Fouth Truth tells us that there is away every sentient beings are able to achieve Enlightment. By following the EightFold Path (Middle Path) everyone is able to become a Buddha-The Awaken One.
