The Path Beyond Desire
How discipline, meditation, and wisdom lead to uncovering our innate purity and true nature.
Craving
Craving in Buddhism is the desire not to be separated from pleasure and the desire to be separated from pain. Traditionally, there are three types: craving for sensuality, for continued existence, and for nonexistence. Craving leads to attachment, clinging, or grasping, which is the root cause of suffering in Buddhism that the Buddha realized when he awakened.
