At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, you should give up any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for form; and any attraction, grasping, mental resolve, insistence, and underlying tendencies. Thus that form will be given up, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, exterminated, and unable to arise in the future. You should give up any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for feeling … perception … choices … consciousness; and any attraction, grasping, mental resolve, insistence, and underlying tendencies.
