'''Taṇhā''' ([[Pāli]]; in [[Sanskrit]]: tṛṣṇā, also trishna) is a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] term that literally means "thirst," and is commonly translated as craving or desire. Within Buddhism, taṇhā is defined as the craving to hold on to pleasurable experiences, to be separated from painful or unpleasant experiences, and for neutral experiences or feelings not to decline. The Buddhist tradition identifies taṇhā as a self-centered type of desire that is based in ignorance. In the first teaching of the [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]] on the [[Buddhism#Four_Noble_Truths|Four Noble Truths]], the Buddha identified taṇhā as a principal cause in the arising of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, dissatisfaction). Taṇhā is also identified as the eighth link in the [[Nidāna|Twelve Links of Dependent Origination]].
