[Buddha-l] Desire

[David Webster]

dhamma-chanda. used as a compound term in the Sa––ŒnŒtta sutta at S.II.144,
but here Dhamma is being used in the sense of mental phenomena, rather than
as ‘teaching of the Buddha’.[i] The combination of dhamma and chanda is
mainly located in commentarial texts, but we also find it in the Abhidhamma
in the Vibhaºga analysis of sammŒ-padhŒna – right striving or exertion.

 

See Philosophy of Desire in the Buddhist Pali Canon (Webster, D.)

Hi,

 

Do these two terms exist in the Pali Sutta? If yes, where?

 

i) kusalachanda

ii) dhammachanda

 

Can anyone recommend where I could find a comprehensive informations on
desire in Buddhism and specifically, the Pali Canon?

 

I have heard of "The Philosophy of Desire in the Buddhist Pali Canon" by
David Webster. It's quite expensive, though. Any reviews done?

 

Thanks,

Rahula
