Craving
Taṇhā (SN 18.8)
1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.
2. Then venerable Rāhula approached the Blessed One worshipped and sat on a side.
3. Sitting on a side venerable Rāhula said to the Blessed One: “Venerable sir, Blessed One, may I be taught so that I would withdraw and seclude and abide diligent and zealous to dispel.”
4. “Rāhula, is craving for forms permanent or impermanent?”
“It is impermanent, venerable sir.”
“That which is impermanent is it unpleasant or pleasant?”
“It's unpleasant, venerable sir.”
“That which is impermanent, unpleasant, a changing thing is it suitable to be considered `that is mine, I am that, it's my self?'”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
5. “Rāhula, is craving for sounds ... re ...

9. Rāhula is craving for ideas permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, venerable sir.”
“That which is impermanent is it unpleasant or pleasant?”
“It's unpleasant, venerable sir.”
“That which is impermanent, unpleasant, a changing thing is it suitable to be considered `that is mine, I am that, it's my self?'”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
10. “Rāhula, the noble disciple seeing it thus turns away from craving for forms, turns away from craving for sounds, turns away from craving for scents, turns away from craving for tastes, turns away from craving for touches and turns away from craving for ideas.
11. “Turning away detaches himself, is dispassionate and is released. Released, knowledge arises, `Birth is destroyed, the holy life is lived, duties are done, there's nothing more to wish'.”
