Buddha taught that all human suffering is caused by attachments (often mistranslated as desires) to more or less imaginary objects and outcomes. The cure for human suffering, then, is to recognize the illusory nature of the objects and outcomes that one is attached to and thereby remove the attachment. For example, people worldwide have somehow decided that diamonds are valuable. There is no particular reason why diamonds should be valuable - they are, after all, merely stones - but people have decided that they are. Given that, some people become very attached to gathering diamonds to exploit that (rather senseless) value that people place on them, and that attachment to gathering diamonds leads people to enslave entire villages and tribes as mine workers, to fight wars over the control of diamonds, and in general make themselves and others around them utterly miserable, all in the service of collecting rocks. recognize that the value of diamonds is illusory and you lose the attachment to gathering them; lose the attachment to gathering them and a whole range of suffering disappears out of your life.
