Analysis of fine points associated with the Buddhist term "Dukkha": 5 clinging-aggregates (upadana-skandha) as basis of stress & sense of self, 3 bases of dukkha (pain, samskara, impermanence), and 4 types of clinging-attachment (upadana) vs. craving (tanha).

Noble 8-fold path and 3 fundamentals of Buddhist path & practice (sila/virtue, samadhi/concentration, prajna/discernment). Craving & Samsara, Nibbana & Unbinding, in the cycle of repeated birth & death. Integration with Ra Material metaphysics & cosmology, and Advaita Vedanta.
