What are enlightened people like? Well, some are men and some are women. [2] You might find them in a monastery or a suburban home, in the forest or in a small country town. It is true that there are not many of them but there are a lot more than people usually think. It is not that enlightenment is inherently difficult; the sad truth is that most people cannot be bothered to pull themselves out of the bog of ignorance and ***craving***.

(суетные) желания
Любые сильные желания, не только похоть. Желания, которые препятствуют состоянию радости и покоя.

| По-моему, по смыслу именно желания (без уточнения про похоть и пр.), но я всё никак не могла подобрать какое-нибудь подобающее определение. Спасибо, Катя. |

Жажда денег = craving.
Пьянство, наркомания = craving.
Обжорство = craving.
.... совсем не факт, что речь - о похоти или плотском вожделении.
Однако, ВСЁ вышеперечисленное, абсолютно соответствует понятию - порочная страсть. IMHO.

Желания плоти/плотские желания (хотения)
Craving means a strong desire--from context, obviously the desires that keep one from englightenment.
