Birth is
dukkha, aging is dukkha, death is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, & despair are dukkha; association with the unbeloved is dukkha; separation from the loved is dukkha; not getting what is wanted is dukkha; being a graduate student is dukkha. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are dukkha.

Having students is dukkha, not having students is dukkha...

Hello Mike,
Yes, there's much dukkha on the "other side" too.
