SN.23.10. Dutiyachandarāgasutta ("Desire and Greed, 2nd")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")At Sāvatthī.
When Venerable Rādha was seated to one side, the Buddha said to him:
“Rādha, you should give up any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for form; and any attraction, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies. Thus that form will be given up, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, and unable to arise in the future.
You should give up any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for feeling … perception … choices … consciousness; and any attraction, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies. Thus that consciousness will be given up, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, and unable to arise in the future.”
