Fettered by craving, people wander and transmigrate for a long time.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cCraving is a person\u2019s partner as they transmigrate on this long journey. They go from this state to another, but don\u2019t escape transmigration. Knowing this danger, that craving is the cause of suffering\u2014 rid of craving, free of grasping, a mendicant would wander mindful.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"The Fetter of Craving","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":120}
