Detailed explanation-1: -Buddhism categorizes desires as either taṇhā or chanda. Chanda literally means “impulse, excitement, will, desire for". Bahm states that chanda is “desiring what, and no more than, will be attained", while taṇhā is “desiring more than will be attained".

Detailed explanation-2: -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").
