"Monks, abandon any desire and passion for form. Thus that form will be abandoned, its root destroyed, made like a palmyra stump, deprived of the conditions of development, not destined for future arising.

"Abandon any desire and passion for feeling…

"Abandon any desire and passion for perception…

"Abandon any desire and passion for fabrications…

"Abandon any desire and passion for consciousness. Thus that consciousness will be abandoned, its root destroyed, made like a palmyra stump, deprived of the conditions of development, not destined for future arising."
