SN 23.3 The Conduit To Rebirth – Bhavanettisutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘the cessation of the conduit to rebirth’.

“‘bhavanettinirodho, bhavanettinirodho’ti, bhante, vuccati.

What is the conduit to rebirth? And what is the cessation of the conduit to rebirth?”

Katamā nu kho, bhante, bhavanetti, katamo bhavanettinirodho”ti?

“Rādha, any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for form; and any attraction, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies—

“Rūpe kho, rādha, yo chando yo rāgo yā nandī yā taṇhā ye upayupādānā cetaso adhiṭṭhānābhinivesānusayā—

this is called the conduit to rebirth.

ayaṁ vuccati bhavanetti.

Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to rebirth.

Tesaṁ nirodho bhavanettinirodho.

Any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for feeling …

consciousness; and any becoming involved, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies—

this is called the conduit to rebirth.

ayaṁ vuccati bhavanetti.

Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to rebirth.”

Tesaṁ nirodho bhavanettinirodho”ti.
