Taruṇarukkhasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Nidānavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 16 · Section 215

[215] Bhikkhus, suppose there were a young tree. Then a man would come along, bringing a spade and a basket, … or he would let it be carried away by a river with a swift current. In this way, bhikkhus, that young tree would be cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, brought to non-existence, not subject to future arising. So too, bhikkhus, for one who dwells contemplating danger in things that can fetter (saññojaniyā dhammā), craving (taṇhā) ceases. With the cessation of craving comes the cessation of clinging (upādāna) … Such is the cessation of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha). The seventh.
