The Discourse on the Arising of Craving
9.
"Monks, there are these four arisings of craving where craving when arising arises in a monk.
Which four?
Monks, craving when arising arises in a monk because of robes;
or, monks, craving when arising arises in a monk because of almsfood;
or, monks, craving when arising arises in a monk because of lodging;
or, monks, craving when arising arises in a monk because of this or that existence.
These, monks, are the four arisings of craving where craving when arising arises in a monk."
"A person with craving as companion, wandering for a long course;
The state here and the state elsewhere, does not pass beyond the round of rebirths.
"Having known thus the danger, craving as the origin of suffering;
Free from craving, without grasping, a mindful monk should wander forth." The ninth.
