Detailed explanation-1: -In Buddhism, desire and ignorance lie at the root of suffering. By desire, Buddhists refer to craving pleasure, material goods, and immortality, all of which are wants that can never be satisfied. As a result, desiring them can only bring suffering.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Buddha believed that most suffering is caused by a tendency to crave or desire things. A person might crave something nice to eat or desire to go on a nice holiday or earn lots of money. Buddhism teaches that through being dissatisfied with their lives and craving things, people suffer.
Detailed explanation-3: -dukkha (literally “suffering"; here “unsatisfactoriness") is an innate characteristic of existence in the realm of samsara; samudaya (origin, arising, combination; ‘cause’): dukkha arises or continues with taṇhā ("craving, desire or attachment, lit. “thirst").
