My teacher has said that Buddha, when he talked about desire, wasn't talking about aspirational goals or healthy sorts of motivating desires. He was talking instead about craving -- about desire that goes too far, and is ultimately destructive. After all, we need some desires -- to sustain our relationships and our friendships and that sort of thing.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21985601.post-71546854361586021082009-12-16T14:10:13.075+00:002009-12-16T14:10:13.075+00:00travel feeds all the senses :) xx
