欲求

desire

Broad English term for which there is no single Sanskrit or Pāli equivalent. Instead, Buddhist psychology classifies the affective impulses according to their various objects. Desire for unwholesome things is generally known as tṛṣṇā, closer in meaning to the English ‘craving’. Other forms of desire, which may be good, bad, or neutral, are analysed into the three forms of chanda. From this it can be seen that the often-encountered notion that Buddhism teaches that all desire is wrong is an oversimplification.
