The Discourse on Craving
319.
At Sāvatthī.
"Whatever, monks, is the arising, presence of craving for visible forms, etc.
the manifestation of ageing and death, etc.
Whatever is the arising, presence, production, manifestation of craving for mental phenomena, this is the arising of suffering, the presence of diseases, the manifestation of ageing and death.
But whatever, monks, is the cessation of craving for visible forms, etc.
the passing away of ageing and death, etc.
Whatever is the cessation, appeasement, passing away of craving for mental phenomena, this is the cessation of suffering, the appeasement of diseases, the passing away of ageing and death."
The eighth.
