At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha: Āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.” “sādhu me, bhante, bhagavā saṅkhittena dhammaṁ desetu, yamahaṁ bhagavato dhammaṁ sutvā eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto vihareyyan”ti.

“Rādha, you should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for whatever is of a nature to cease. “Yo kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo. And what is of a nature to cease? Ko ca, rādha, nirodhadhammo? Form is of a nature to cease. You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for it. Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo …pe…

Feeling … vedanā nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo …pe…

Perception … saññā nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo …pe…

Choices … saṅkhārā nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo …pe…

Consciousness is of a nature to cease. You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for it. viññāṇaṁ nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo …pe… You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for whatever is of a nature to cease.” yo kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo”ti.

Āyācanavaggo tatiyo.
