23. Rādhasaṁyutta: With Rādha
III. Appeals — SN23.34: Liable To Cease
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī.
Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.”
“Rādha, you should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for whatever is liable to cease. And what is liable to cease? Form is liable to cease. You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for it.
Feeling …
Perception …
Choices …
Consciousness is liable to cease. You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for it. You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for whatever is liable to cease.”

“Yo kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo. Ko ca, rādha, nirodhadhammo? Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo … pe …

Māro ca māradhammo ca,
Aniccena apare duve;
Dukkhena ca duve vuttā,
Anattena tatheva ca;
Khayavayasamudayaṁ,
Nirodhadhammena dvādasāti.
