31 Flavors of Craving September 13, 2009

Posted by Philip Ryan in : Buddhism, Buddhist Teachings , trackback

It’s a world of craving we live in, but don’t blame the world: We do it ourselves.

The Pali word for craving is tanha, which means “thirst.” The Buddha identified three distinct kinds of tanha that you repeatedly experience; they are often unnoticed, because they arise and then are quickly preempted by yet another and then another.

Read about the three types of craving in Phillip Moffitt’s “31 Flavors of Craving,” from the pages of Tricycle.
