Indeed:

 The unquiet mind. Source recorded at Thien Mu Monastary on the Perfume
 River in Hue, the oldest surviving Buddhist monastary in Vietnam. The
 quiet grounds were a welcome change from the predatory desperation of
 Hue. I was told the city residents are still punished financially for Hue's
 independent course during the War. Thien Mu houses as a relic the blue
 Austin that Thich Quang Duc drove to Saigon, where he immolated himself
 on June 2, 1963, to protest repression under the US-backed regime of
 President Diem. Dukka is a term from Buddhist philosophy often translated
 as "suffering," but a more accurate rendering would be"unsatisfactory-ness."

though somehow signing off :) feels a little odd.

or maybe, just right.
