Buddhists generally view desire as a source of suffering, as articulated in the Four Noble Truths. They believe that cravings and attachments lead to dissatisfaction and prevent individuals from achieving enlightenment. However, not all desires are seen as negative; wholesome desires, such as the aspiration for compassion and wisdom, can be beneficial and are encouraged. Ultimately, the goal is to cultivate a balanced relationship with desire, recognizing its nature while reducing attachment to it.

The mortal body is usually the source of desire, which is the source of suffering.

Where do Buddhists believe salvation comes from?
Buddhists do not share the concept of "salvation" with Christians. Buddhists have no god(s) that grant prayers, forgive sins, judge, save or condemn. The closest that might be seen as the "salvation" is enlightenment where a Buddhist sees how to run his life with enough skill to avoid desire. The Buddhist can then attain Nirvana, which he may or may not do, depending on his choice.
