[261] Bhikkhus, whatever is suffering (dukkha) — with regard to that, desire (chanda) should be abandoned by you; lust (rāga) should be abandoned; desire-and-lust (chandarāga) should be abandoned. And what, bhikkhus, is suffering? Forms, bhikkhus, are suffering — with regard to them, desire should be abandoned by you; lust should be abandoned; desire-and-lust should be abandoned. Sounds, odors, tastes, tangibles, and mental phenomena (dhammā) are suffering — with regard to them, desire should be abandoned by you; lust should be abandoned; desire-and-lust should be abandoned. Bhikkhus, whatever is suffering — with regard to that, desire should be abandoned by you; lust should be abandoned; desire-and-lust should be abandoned.
