Tanha arises in correspondence with the feeling: if the feeling is pleasant, there will be a desire to hold onto it; if the feeling is unpleasant, there will be a desire to escape from or destroy it; if the feeling is neutral, there will be a subtle kind of attachment to it.

 Tanha - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
Tanha (Pali/Sanskrit: trsna), one of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhist texts, describes the craving for sense objects which provide pleasant feeling, or craving for sensory pleasures.
The generally accepted ancient Buddhist definition of the term "tanha" is a word that is practically interchangeable with some perceptions of the English-language term addiction, except that the Buddhist view of tanha tends to include a far broader range of human activities than medical discussions of addiction tends to include.
Further analysis of certain Buddhist concepts of tanha, based on some Buddhists' belief that all worldly desires tend to be addictive and are counterproductive, points toward another belief that the only escape from all forms of tanha is for the individual to somehow achieve the quenching of all desires.

It is this bhavana-saddha that can save bhikkhus and layfolk, who are in the course of being drowned and submerged in the ocean of the three tanha, and enable them to reach the island haven of the kingdom of saddha consisting of the four ariyavamsa-dhamma.
The five patipakkha akusala dhamma are: 1) tanha, 2) kosajja, or laziness, or inability to take pains, or lack of fearlessness in the work of the patipatti, 3) mutthasacca, 4) vikkhepa, and 5) sammoha.
The group of five akusala kamma of tanha, kosajja mutthasacca, vikkhepa, and sammoha, resemble five major sicknesses.[120] In the Sasana the work of samatha and vipassana-bhavana resembles the affairs and undertakings of the world.

The Buddha stated that the predominant aspect or principle part of the arising of unsatisfactoriness is tanha which means thirst, craving or greed.
However, tanha is not the original cause, but itself dependent on conditions.

Desire or tanha in Pali is an important thing to understand.

 Vipassana Newsletter January 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
I had studied the teachings of the Indian spiritual teachers before and after the Buddha who also accept tanha as the cause of misery, but for them tanha arises because of the sense objects only.
Others proclaimed salayatana paccaya tanha; the Buddha discovered and disclosed that vedana paccaya tanha, which means that defilements arise at the level of vedana and in response to vedana.
Thus, he does not allow tanha to arise in response to vedana: He responds neither with tanha of craving towards a pleasant sensation nor with tanha of aversion towards an unpleasant sensation.

 Vedana in Paticcasamuppada
Vedana is the cause of tanha, which gives rise to dukkha.
In order to remove the cause of dukkha or tanha, one must not allow vedana to connect with tanha; in other words, one must practise Vipassana meditation at this juncture so that avijja becomes vijja or panna (wisdom).
If we want to advance on the path of liberationpath of liberation, we have to work at the level of vedana because it is here that the wheel of misery can be arrested.

 The Second Noble Truth
The Second Noble Truth states that there is an origin of suffering and that the origin of suffering is attachment to the three kinds of desire: desire for sense pleasure (kama tanha), desire to become (bhava tanha) and desire to get rid of (vibhava tanha).
For example, how much of the good intentions of my meditation practice as a monk was to become liked -- how much of my relations with other monks or nuns or with lay people had to do with wanting to be liked and approved of.
That is bhava tanha -- desire for praise and success.
