You gotta go buddhism if you want to eliminate desire
read the Dhammapada and learn to meditate senpai.

i'm planning to learn sanskrit so I don't want to spoil the fun of those books just yet, that's why I'm asking about daoism
So, you desire to eliminate desire.
Do I have this right?
>>7459653
among other things yes
why not just satiate your desires instead of quitting like a little bitch
>>7459675
there's not enough heroin and pussy in the world to satiate me

Daoism doesn't advocate the elimination of desire.
Everything has its place in the Dao, desire and suffering included.
You're thinking of Buddhism.

Don't listen to this guy, OP.
Read the Tao Te Ching. There is a lot in there about eliminating desire.

Things have really gone downhill, here. You're better off asking /his/ if you want serious answers.
[I recommend the Jonathan Star translate. It's pricey but superior.]
