3. Attachment To Being Reborn
At Sāvatthī. Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha: “Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘the attachment to being reborn’. What is the attachment to being reborn? And what is the cessation of the attachment to being reborn?” “Rādha, any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for form; and any attraction, grasping, mental resolve, insistence, and underlying tendencies— this is called the attachment to being reborn. Their cessation is the cessation of the attachment to being reborn. Any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for feeling … perception … choices … consciousness; and any becoming involved, grasping, mental decisions, insistence, and underlying tendencies— this is called the attachment to being reborn. Their cessation is the cessation of the attachment to being reborn.”
