In Buddhism, desire and ignorance lie at the root of suffering. By desire, Buddhists refer to craving pleasure, material goods, and immortality, all of which are wants that can never be satisfied. As a result, desiring them can only bring suffering.

Well you won’t find happiness in Buddhism. That’s not that it’s not worthwhile or a good religion, it’s a great religion, it just isn’t selling happiness. It’s hawking inner peace, and the price is adherence to the eightfold path in an attempt to live a life of neither excess nor self deprivation so that you may stop the suffering caused by desiring transient things like happiness.
