Friends:
Seeking, searching, & urging instantly creates Craving:
At Savatthi the Buddha said: Friends, one who seeks delight in form
seeks delight in suffering. I tell you, anyone seeking delight in such
suffering, is not freed from suffering. Anyone who seeks delight in
feeling, in perception, in mental constructions, and in consciousness
seeks delight in suffering. One who seeks delight in suffering, I say,
is therefore not liberated from suffering...!!!
Anyone who does not seek any delight neither in form, nor in feeling,
nor in perception, nor in mental constructions, nor in consciousness,
does not seek delight in any suffering! One who does not seek delight
in any suffering, I declare, is therefore released from all suffering!!!
