Taṇhā (Pāli; Devanāgarī: तण्हा) or tṛṣṇā (Sanskrit; Devanāgarī: तृष्णा) literally means "thirst," figuratively denotes "desire" or "craving," and is traditionally juxtaposed with "peace of mind" (upekkha). Synonyms: * 愛 Cn: ài; Jp: ai; Vi: ái * Tibetan: sred.pa The most basic of these meanings (the literal meaning) is "thirst"; however, in Buddhism it has a technical meaning that is much broader. In part due to the variety of possible translations, taṇhā is sometimes used as an untranslated technical term by authors writing about Buddhism.

  • Taṇhā (Pāli; Devanāgarī: तण्हा) or tṛṣṇā (Sanskrit; Devanāgarī: तृष्णा) literally means "thirst," figuratively denotes "desire" or "craving," and is traditionally juxtaposed with "peace of mind" (upekkha). Synonyms: * 愛 Cn: ài; Jp: ai; Vi: ái * Tibetan: sred.pa The most basic of these meanings (the literal meaning) is "thirst"; however, in Buddhism it has a technical meaning that is much broader. In part due to the variety of possible translations, taṇhā is sometimes used as an untranslated technical term by authors writing about Buddhism. In the framework of the Four Noble Truths, the second truth (sacca) identifies taṇhā as the origin (samudaya) of suffering (dukkha). This is elaborated upon more fully in the Twelve Nidanas of Dependent Origination (Skt.: pratītyasamutpāda; Pali: paṭiccasamuppāda) in which taṇhā is the eighth link (see diagram to the right).
