Taṇhāsutta

Craving

“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, taṇhā.
“Mendicants, there are these three cravings.

Katamā tisso?
What three?

Kāmataṇhā, bhavataṇhā, vibhavataṇhā—
Craving for sensual pleasures, craving to continue existence, and craving to end existence.

imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso taṇhā.
These are the three cravings.

Imāsaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tissannaṁ taṇhānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya …pe… ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo.
The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these three cravings.

Katamo ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo?
What is the noble eightfold path?

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ.
It’s when a mendicant develops right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.

Imāsaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tissannaṁ taṇhānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya …pe… ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo”ti.
This is the noble eightfold path that should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these three cravings.”

Dasamaṁ.
