Relationship Between Time and Desire (From a Buddhist Perspective)

In this episode, Bhante Sathi explores the intricate relationship between time and desire through the lens of Buddhist teachings. He explains how desire arises, evolves, and often fades once fulfilled — yet rarely brings lasting satisfaction. Drawing on Pali concepts like Tanha (craving) and Chanda (interest or inclination), Bhante highlights how our desires can be shaped by culture, ego, and personal perception, and how awareness plays a key role in relating to them skillfully. Whether desire feels positive or negative, its true nature lies in how we engage with it.
