The Discourse on the Conduit to Existence
162.
At Sāvatthī.
Seated to one side, the venerable Rādha said this to the Blessed One:
"'Cessation of the conduit to existence, cessation of the conduit to existence', venerable sir, is said.
What indeed, venerable sir, is the conduit to existence, what is the cessation of the conduit to existence?"
"Regarding matter, Rādha, whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving, whatever involvements and clingings, mental standpoints, adherences and underlying tendencies -
this is called the conduit to existence.
Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to existence.
In feeling,
in perception,
in activities,
in consciousness, whatever desire, etc.
mental standpoints, adherences and underlying tendencies -
this is called the conduit to existence.
Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to existence."
