all forms of desire
Answered by GPT 3.5
According to the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, suffering, or dukkha, is caused by attachment or craving, which stems from desire. Therefore, in order to end suffering, one must overcome all forms of desire, including selfish desires. The goal in Buddhism is to attain enlightenment and reach a state of liberation known as Nirvana, which is achieved by letting go of attachment and desire. By eliminating desire, one can achieve a state of inner peace and freedom from suffering.
