Answer:

The answer is EIGHTFOLD PATH.

Step-by-step explanation:

The EIGHTFOLD PATH to nirvana (the supreme state of happiness) is the one that comprises eight aspects the aspirant must practice to overcome desire. Said eight aspects are: right views, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.

According to Buddhism, overcoming desire is the way to stop suffering, since the former is the cause of the latter.
