SN22: Connected Discourses on the Aggregates

SN22:111 Abandoning Desire (1)

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, whatever desire there is for form, whatever lust, delight, craving—abandon it. Thus that form will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so that it is no more subject to future arising.

So too in the case of feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Rūpe, bhikkhave, yo chando yo rāgo yā nandī yā taṇhā, taṁ pajahatha. Evaṁ taṁ rūpaṁ pahīnaṁ bhavissati ucchinnamūlaṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaṅkataṁ āyatiṁ anuppāda dhammaṁ.

Vedanāya … pe … saññāya … saṅkhāresu … viññāṇe yo chando yo rāgo yā nandī yā taṇhā, taṁ pajahatha. Evaṁ taṁ viññāṇaṁ pahīnaṁ bhavissati ucchinnamūlaṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaṅkataṁ āyatiṁ anuppāda dhamman"ti.


Navamaṁ.
