The Blessed Buddha once said: What, now, is the Second Noble Truth on the Cause of Suffering? The Cause of suffering is Craving, which bound up with pleasure and desire, delighting now here, now there, gives rise to renewed rebirth! ( SN 56:11 ) But where and when does this Craving arise and take root? Wherever in the world there are delightful and pleasurable objects, exactly right there & then this craving arises, takes root & grows... The eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, forms, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, ideas, thoughts, mental states, consciousness of sensation, sense contacts, feelings born of contact, perceptions, intentions, cravings, thoughts, & reflections are all attractive and pleasurable: Right there & then this toxic craving arises, roots & grows... This is called the Noble Truth on the Origin of Suffering! (DN 22)
