1.1PTS 2.87Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.At Sāvatthī.

1.2“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, telañca paṭicca vaṭṭiñca paṭicca telappadīpo jhāyeyya.“Mendicants, suppose an oil lamp depended on oil and a wick to burn.1.3Tatra puriso kālena kālaṁ telaṁ āsiñceyya vaṭṭiṁ upasaṁhareyya.And from time to time someone would pour oil in and adjust the wick.1.4Evañhi so, bhikkhave, telappadīpo tadāhāro tadupādāno ciraṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ jaleyya.Fed and fuelled by that, the oil lamp would burn for a long time.

1.5Evameva kho, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyesu dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati.In the same way, there are things that tighten the fetters. When you concentrate on the gratification provided by these things, your craving grows.1.6Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ …pe…Craving is a requirement for grasping. …1.7evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.

2.1Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, telañca paṭicca vaṭṭiñca paṭicca telappadīpo jhāyeyya.Suppose an oil lamp depended on oil and a wick to burn.2.2Tatra puriso na kālena kālaṁ telaṁ āsiñceyya na vaṭṭiṁ upasaṁhareyya.And no one would pour oil in and adjust the wick from time to time.2.3Evañhi so, bhikkhave, telappadīpo purimassa ca upādānassa pariyādānā aññassa ca anupahārā anāhāro nibbāyeyya.As the original fuel is used up and no more is added, the oil lamp would be extinguished due to not being fed.

2.4Evameva kho, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyesu dhammesu ādīnavānupassino viharato taṇhā nirujjhati.In the same way, there are things that tighten the fetters. When you concentrate on the drawbacks of these things, your craving ceases.2.5Taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho …pe…When craving ceases, grasping ceases. …2.6evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti.That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.”
