Buddhists when they find out desiring to be free of all desires is still a desire.

The correct approach is not to be free of desire, but to cultivate the one desire that can always be fulfilled. This alone provides lasting peace.

no absolutely not true and shows complete lack of understanding 100%. It isn't about overcoming ALL desires but to channel them (desires) in a good direction and some desires are good and some are like drinking water to keep you alive!! Sorry to say but honestly you don't…

We must not give a fundamentally Buddhist answer to the danger of pride rather than a Christian one:

It's supposed to be the final desire you let go of. The common metaphor is when you cross a river with a raft, you don't take the raft with you.

Holding on to letting go. Lol. Like Christians who ask things of God. Just love him for the sake of loving him. Not so difficult.

It's amazing the amount of victories you win when you never engage in the first place.

@VividVoid_
this is a commonly asked question in buddhism ive been asked this about 10 times so far. desire to be free from desires leads to the end of desire, so it is the one good desire.

The volition for nibbana is distinguished from addictions to transient worldly phenomena. Of course, you may become attached to the mental form of nibbana but with right practice this would also be discarded or prevented from forming.
