Give Up Desire
捨欲 is a Buddhist term that means to give up desire or the act of cutting off desire.
In Buddhism, our attachments, greed, and/or desires are the root of our suffering. Release them and live a happy life!
Desire
This Chinese word can mean desirous, wishful, or desire.
The first character means to thirst for [something] or to be thirsty. The second character means to hope for, to expect, to gaze (into the distance), or to look for something. The combined meaning of these two characters changes a bit, but I think it's nice to know the individual meanings to give you a better understanding of where a word comes from.
Korean definitions of this word include craving, longing, and thirst for knowledge.
