Stoicism, Buddhism, and Christianity - Different Approaches to Desire
Stoicism and Judaism share a common understanding of symptoms, diagnosis, and prognosis with a different method of achieving control through reason. Buddhism goes beyond reason into a realm without a name, different from the mystical Hindu concept of Brahman, which lacks a God - making Buddhism a form of atheism. Buddhism addresses desire as the root cause of unhappiness and suggests killing desire as a solution. However, Christianity presents a unique approach by advocating for a transformation of desire rather than its abolition or satisfaction, requiring a supernatural change of heart.
