With Koṭṭhita on Suffering Koṭṭhikadukkhasutta

Then Venerable Mahākoṭṭhita … said to the Buddha: Atha kho āyasmā mahākoṭṭhiko …pe… 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 When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.”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 …pe… vihareyyan”ti.

“Koṭṭhita, you should give up desire for what is suffering. “Yaṁ kho, koṭṭhika, dukkhaṁ tatra te chando pahātabbo. And what is suffering? Kiñca, koṭṭhika, dukkhaṁ?
