Things That Fuel Grasping
“Mendicants, I will teach you the things that fuel grasping, and the grasping. Listen …
What are the things that fuel grasping? And what is the grasping? The eye is something that fuels grasping. The desire and greed for it is the grasping.
The ear … nose … tongue … body … mind is something that fuels grasping. The desire and greed for it is the grasping. These are called the things that fuel grasping, and this is the grasping.”
