“Bhikkhū, I will teach you how grasping leads to anxiety, and how not grasping leads to freedom from anxiety.
“Upādāparitassanañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi anupādāaparitassanañca.
Listen and pay close attention, I will speak.”
Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.
“Yes, sir,” they replied.
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti, kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.
