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.”
