Things That Fuel Grasping Upādāniyasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, I will teach you the things that fuel grasping, and the grasping. “Upādāniye ca, bhikkhave, dhamme desessāmi upādānañca. Listen … Taṁ suṇātha.

What are the things that fuel grasping? And what is the grasping? Katame ca, bhikkhave, upādāniyā dhammā, katamaṁ upādānaṁ?

Form is something that fuels grasping. Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, upādāniyo dhammo, The desire and greed for it is the grasping. yo tattha chandarāgo, taṁ tattha upādānaṁ.

Feeling … Vedanā …pe…

Perception … saññā …

Choices … saṅkhārā …

Consciousness is something that fuels grasping. viññāṇaṁ upādāniyo dhammo; The desire and greed for it is the grasping. yo tattha chandarāgo, taṁ tattha upādānaṁ.

These are called the things that fuel grasping, and this is the grasping.” Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, upādāniyā dhammā, idaṁ upādānan”ti.

Navamaṁ.
