[1541] S. Is craving for dhammas (dhammataṇhā) indeterminate (abyākata)?
P. Yes.
S. But was it not said by the Blessed One: "It is this craving (taṇhā) that leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, delighting now here, now there; that is to say: craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for non-existence"?¹ Does such a discourse indeed exist?
P. Yes.
S. In that case, it should not be said that craving for dhammas is indeterminate.
