A basic teaching of Buddha was that “not to get what one
desires” is suffering.

True! One of the core teachings of Buddhism revolves around the concept of desire and attachment leading to suffering, known as “Dukkha.” Buddha taught that clinging to desires can result in a cycle of suffering and dissatisfaction. By understanding, accepting, and ultimately letting go of desires, one can attain a state of enlightenment, or Nirvana, which is the cessation of suffering.

To delve deeper into this philosophy, consider the Four Noble Truths: the recognition of suffering, the cause of suffering (attachment), the possibility of cessation of suffering, and the path leading to this cessation (the Eightfold Path). This framework is central to Buddhist thought and can offer invaluable insights into understanding human experience and personal contentment.
