दुःख — विज्ञान और समाधान डॉ. लोकेश भारतीय (सहायक प्राध्यापक एवं लेखक) क्या दुःख केवल परिस्थितियों का परिणाम है? क्या हमारे जीवन की पीड़ा का संबंध हमारे अपने मन, इच्छाओं, अपेक्षाओं और सोचने के तरीके से भी है? “दुःख — विज्ञान और समाधान” इन्हीं महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्नों को सरल, आत्मीय और विचारोत्तेजक ढंग से समझने का प्रयास है। पुस्तक का उद्देश्य दुःख से भागने की सलाह देना नहीं, बल्कि उसे समझने, पहचानने और उसके मूल कारणों को देखने की एक नई दृष्टि विकसित करना है। Dukh_Book -Final लेखक अपने व्यक्तिगत अनुभवों और बुद्ध की शिक्षाओं से प्रेरित होकर यह समझने का प्रयास करते हैं कि मनुष्य की पीड़ा किस प्रकार जन्म लेती है और किस तरह बढ़ती जाती है। पुस्तक के अनुसार, बाहरी घटनाएँ हमेशा दुःख का प्रत्यक्ष कारण नहीं होतीं; हमारी मानसिक प्रतिक्रिया, अपेक्षाएँ, तृष्णा, पकड़ और वास्तविकता के प्रति विरोध भी दुःख को गहरा कर सकते हैं। तृष्णा को
