SN 22:25 · Desire & Passion (Chanda-rāga Sutta)
Near Sāvatthī.
“Monks, abandon any desire & passion for form. Thus that form will be abandoned, its root destroyed, made like a palmyra stump, deprived of the conditions of development, not destined for future arising.
“Abandon any desire & passion for feeling…
“Abandon any desire & passion for perception…
“Abandon any desire & passion for fabrications…
“Abandon any desire & passion for consciousness. Thus that consciousness will be abandoned, its root destroyed, made like a palmyra stump, deprived of the conditions of development, not destined for future arising.”
