"Yearning For Stasis"

"And this, monks, is the noble truth of the origination of stress: the craving that makes for further becoming — accompanied by passion & delight, relishing now here & now there — i.e., craving for sensual pleasure, craving for becoming, craving for non-becoming."   Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta: Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion            [This translation of the Sutta by Thanissaro Bhikkhu uses "stress" in place of the more familiar term "suffering."]           ~
