[157] "And what, bhikkhus, is the passing away of the world? In dependence on the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises; the meeting of the three is contact; 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); with the cessation of existence, the cessation of birth; with the cessation of birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair cease. Such is the cessation of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha). This is the passing away of the world. … In dependence on the tongue and tastes there arises … In dependence on the mind (mano) and dhammas, mind-consciousness arises; 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 … Such is the cessation of this whole mass of suffering. This, bhikkhus, is the passing away of the world." The fourth.
