Intentions concerned with things visible, intentions concerned with things audible, intentions concerned with things odorous, sapid, that may be smelt, tasted, touched, tangible, with things in memory recalled — these are the things in this world that are dear, that are pleasant. There does Craving take its rise, there does it dwell.
Craving for things visible, craving for things audible, craving for things that may be smelt, tasted, touched, for things in memory recalled — these are the things in this world that are dear, that are pleasant. There does Craving take its rise, there does it dwell.
Pre-occupation about things seen, pre-occupation about things heard, pre-occupation about things smelt, tasted, tangible, about things in memory recalled — these are the things in this world that are dear, that are pleasant. There does Craving take its rise, there does it dwell.
Deliberating about things seen, deliberating about things heard, deliberating about things smelt, tasted, tangible, about things in memory recalled — these are the things in this world that are dear, that are pleasant. And there does Craving take its rise, there does it dwell.
[310] This, bhikkhus, is what is called the Aryan
Truth concerning- the coming to be of 111.
20. And what, bhikkhus, is the Aryan Truth concerning the cessation of 111 ?
The utter cessation of and disenchantment about that very Craving, giving it up, renouncing it, emancipation from it, detachment from it.
p. 342
