Craving is something that is focused on in Buddhism as a source of suffering and unhappiness. Are we being told that we shouldn't have desires or that being without desire is the goal? No. In this talk, I explain how to see the difference between desire, which can be life-giving, and craving, which is often something our life becomes diminished within.
