To end suffering you end greed.
Answer:
Buddha basically stated that all desire (with the exception of the desire to become enlightened) was negative and lead to suffering. A lot of misunderstading comes from the use of the English terms desire and suffering in discussions of Buddhism. Desire means any consideration to pursue something beyond your physical needs or at the cost of someone elses physical nneds. Suffering is as aptly stated as being "unsatisfactoriness" a feeling that things should not be (in some not well deined way) what they presently are.
