According to the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, what must be overcome to end suffering is all forms of desire (or craving). The First Noble Truth identifies suffering (dukkha) as a fundamental aspect of life, while the Second Noble Truth identifies craving and attachment as the cause of that suffering. Overcoming desire is essential to achieving the cessation of suffering, which is addressed in the Third Noble Truth (Nirvana).
