Explanation:

Statement 1: Buddha taught that sometimes, even if we get what we want, we are not satisfied, and want even more (or want other things). The Buddha described this as thirst or tanha.He taught that this constant craving could be removed by following moderation in everything.
Statement 3: Buddha was against the passive dying out of karma by practicing immobile asceticism.He said one cannot be liberated by this practice that involves sitting motionlessly for extended periods of time.
