The Cessation of Craving

“Yo, bhikkhave, maggo yā paṭipadā taṇhānirodhāya saṁvattati, taṁ maggaṁ taṁ paṭipadaṁ bhāvetha.  “Mendicants, you should develop the path and the practice that leads to the cessation of craving.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, maggo katamā ca paṭipadā taṇhānirodhāya saṁvattati?  And what is the path and the practice that leads to the cessation of craving?
Yadidaṁ— 
satta bojjhaṅgā.  It is the seven awakening factors.
Katame satta?  What seven?
Satisambojjhaṅgo …pe… upekkhāsambojjhaṅgo.  The awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion, and equanimity.
Kathaṁ bhāvitā ca, bhikkhave, satta bojjhaṅgā kathaṁ bahulīkatā taṇhānirodhāya saṁvattanti?  And how are the seven awakening factors developed and cultivated so as to lead to the cessation of craving?

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu satisambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ …pe…  It’s when a mendicant develops the awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion,

upekkhāsambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ.  and equanimity, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.
Evaṁ bhāvitā kho, bhikkhave, satta bojjhaṅgā evaṁ bahulīkatā taṇhānirodhāya saṁvattantī”ti.  This is how the seven awakening factors are developed and cultivated so as to lead to the cessation of craving.”

Sattamaṁ.
