David Webster explores the notion of desire as found in the
Buddhist Pali Canon. Beginning by addressing the idea of a 'paradox
of desire', whereby we must desire to end desire, the varieties of
desire that are articulated in the Pali texts are examined. A range
of views of desire, as found in Western thought, are presented as
well as Hindu and Jain approaches. An exploration of the concept of
ditthi(view or opinion) is also provided, exploring the way in
which 'holding views' can be seen as analogous to the process of
desiring. Other subjects investigated include the mind-body
relationship, the range of Pali terms for desire, and desire's
positive spiritual value. A comparative exploration of the various
approaches completes the work.
