18.1
‘Taṇhaṃ paṭicca pariyesanā’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ, tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā taṇhaṃ paṭicca pariyesanā.
‘Craving gives rise to searching’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
18.2
Taṇhā ca hi, ānanda, nābhavissa sabbena sabbaṃ sabbathā sabbaṃ kassaci kimhici, seyyathidaṃ—
Suppose there were totally and utterly no craving for anyone anywhere.
18.3
kāmataṇhā bhavataṇhā vibhavataṇhā, sabbaso taṇhāya asati taṇhānirodhā api nu kho pariyesanā paññāyethā”ti?
That is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for continued existence, and craving for nonexistence. When there’s no craving at all, with the cessation of craving, would searching still be found?”
18.4
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
18.5
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo pariyesanāya, yadidaṃ taṇhā.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of searching, namely craving.
18.6
Iti kho, ānanda, ime dve dhammā dvayena vedanāya ekasamosaraṇā bhavanti.
And so, Ānanda, these two things meet at the two aspects of feeling.
