The first is aspiration (chanda). This means the desire to leave behind all worldly false thoughts and inversions, and the desire to attain all approaches to the Dharma of dhyāna and wisdom. It is also called resolve, also called vow, also called fondness, and also called delight. Because this person resolves upon, vows for, is fond of, and delights in all deep approaches to the Dharma, it is therefore called aspiration. As the Buddha said: "Of all wholesome dharmas, aspiration is the root."
