Alan Watts - The frustration with Desire

Alan Watts in this excerpt from his lecture on Buddhism explains that we are engulfed in a loop of desire to end our suffering. Buddhism teaches that desire is the root of suffering but one thing is clear, the desire to end suffering is in itself a desire. In the end, all forms of desire is nothing but a trap. So, what to do?

A little bit about me:
Biafran born and raised, I left Africa at the age of 30 to pursue my dream of studying and living in Europe. My life, however, took an unconventional turn when I arrived. Mine is the tale of one woman’s voyage through the grit to resilience and peace. Gleaning from my colorful life experiences, I inspire you to be courageous and be the mighty heart that overcomes every adversity.
Having persevered through adverse conditions in many areas of my life, and integrated my own traumatic experiences, today I inspire people to transcend their personal stories in order to discover their mighty hearts. I focus on enabling people to change their narrative about suffering and fall in love with challenges. With my Joy o'clock offerings (calendly.com/yourpurity?month..., I serve people who feel overwhelmed through my active and non-judgmental listening service.
Following my groundbreaking story on the TED Stage in 2019 - • Courage to be imperfec... - I continue to share my transformative messages with people from different cultures. Though a biomedical scientist by education, I consider myself a jolly-good fellow by providence, because of my innate tendency to bring joy to the people around me.
Aside living in Germany, I am an inspirational speaker, author and jolly-good fellow.

He was such an academic. I think he leaned on his knowledge too much. It's possible to explain truths without cross referencing through compatitive religions. Krishnamurti was very adept at this,more concise and clearer on the human condition and the pitfalls of thought.
