Explanation: 

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: -In his early teachings, the Buddha identified “three poisons, ‘’ or three fires, or three negative qualities of the mind that cause most of our problems-and most of the problems in the world. The three poisons are: greed (raga, also translated as lust), hatred (dvesha, or anger), and delusion (moha, or ignorance).
