[165] "And what, bhikkhus, is the passing away (atthaṅgama) of the world? In dependence on the eye and forms there arises eye-consciousness; the meeting of the three is contact (phassa); with contact as condition, feeling (vedanā); with feeling as condition, craving (taṇhā). With the remainderless fading away and cessation of that very craving comes the cessation of clinging (upādāna); with the cessation of clinging, the cessation of existence (bhava) … Such is the cessation of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha). This, bhikkhus, is the passing away of the world.
"In dependence on the ear and sounds … In dependence on the nose and odours … In dependence on the tongue and tastes … In dependence on the body and tangibles … In dependence on the mind and dhammas there arises mind-consciousness; the meeting of the three is contact; with contact as condition, feeling; with feeling as condition, craving. With the remainderless fading away and cessation of that very craving comes the cessation of clinging; with the cessation of clinging, the cessation of existence … Such is the cessation of this whole mass of suffering. This, bhikkhus, is the passing away of the world."
