The Discourse on the Question about Craving
323.
"'Craving, craving', friend Sāriputta, is said.
What indeed, friend, is craving?"
"There are these three cravings, friend.
Sensual craving, craving for existence, craving for non-existence -
these, friend, are the three cravings."
"But is there, friend, a path, is there a practice for the abandoning of these cravings?"
"There is indeed, friend, a path, there is a practice for the abandoning of these cravings."
"But what, friend, is the path, what is the practice for the abandoning of these cravings?"
"Just this noble eightfold path, friend, is for the abandoning of these cravings, as follows -
right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
This, friend, is the path, this is the practice for the abandoning of these cravings."
"Excellent, friend, is the path, excellent is the practice for the abandoning of these cravings.
And it is enough, friend Sāriputta, for diligence."
