Nirodhadhammasutta  Liable To Cease

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.  At Sāvatthī.

Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ rādhaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:  When Venerable Rādha was seated to one side, the Buddha said to him:

“yo kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo.  “Rādha, you should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for whatever is liable to cease.
Ko ca, rādha, nirodhadhammo?  And what is liable to cease?
Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo.  Form is liable to cease. You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for it.

Vedanā …pe…  Feeling …

viññāṇaṁ nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo.  Consciousness is liable to cease. You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for it.
Yo kho, rādha, nirodhadhammo; tatra te chando pahātabbo, rāgo pahātabbo, chandarāgo pahātabbo”ti.  You should give up any desire, any greed, any desire and greed for whatever is liable to cease.”

Upanisinnavaggo catuttho. 

Tassuddānaṁ 

Māro ca māradhammo ca, 
Aniccena apare duve; 
Dukkhena ca duve vuttā, 
Anattena tatheva ca; 
Khayavayasamudayaṁ, 
Nirodhadhammena dvādasāti. 

Rādhasaṁyuttaṁ samattaṁ.  The Linked Discourses with Rādha are complete.
