Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Buddha taught that the way to extinguish desire, which causes suffering, is to liberate oneself from attachment. This is the third Noble Truth-the possibility of liberation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Buddha taught about Four Noble Truths. The first truth is called “Suffering (dukkha), ‘’ which teaches that everyone in life is suffering in some way. The second truth is “Origin of suffering (samudāya).” This states that all suffering comes from desire (tanhā).

Detailed explanation-3: -It is believed that suffering, in part, is due to the impermanence of life. Even if one is happy at a given time, this happiness is not permanent. Since it is believed that life is suffering, the ultimate goal in Buddhism is to end the cycle of suffering, the cycle of repeated death and rebirth.
