At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

Āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.”

“sādhu me, bhante, bhagavā saṅkhittena dhammaṁ desetu, yamahaṁ bhagavato dhammaṁ sutvā eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto vihareyyan”ti.

“Rādha, you should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for whatever is liable to cease.

“Yo kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo.

And what is liable to cease?
