"Whatever craving there is for forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tangible things or mental phenomena, that craving leads to suffering. With the cessation of craving comes the cessation of suffering, and thus liberation is attained."
-The Buddha

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
The Buddha here is putting his finger firmly on the problem. He's telling us that it is our dissatisfaction and our chasing after things that causes us so much of our problems. Wanting things to be different than they are, in other words, not accepting how things are, is the very definition of dissatisfaction and frustration. This can lead to anxiety and so many problems that people face. This is what the Buddha talked about in terms of the noble truth of suffering and in this quote, again, he very kindly shows that getting rid of craving or wanting and desiring, that when that is abandoned, suffering itself is finished.
