What this episode covers

Tonight’s topic is the Second Noble Truth—the cause of suffering. The Buddhist word is tanha, often translated as craving, but more directly as an unquenchable thirst. That restless hunger shows up as desire, obsession, wanting, insatiable pleasure—the mind chasing satisfaction and never quite landing. When you think of desire, craving, wanting, what other words come to mind? What is causing your dissatisfaction?
