'On uptakable, almsmen, principles; from dwelling looking at the sweetness, longing grows. With support of longing, taking up. With support of taking up, becoming. With support of becoming, birth. With support of birth, ageing-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, distress, unrest appear. So for this entire mass of suffering the rise is.
Also as that, almsmen, of ten cartloads of wood or twenty cartloads of wood or thirty cartloads of wood or forty cartloads of wood a great mass of fire would burn. There a man, from time to time, would put in and like dried up grass, and he would put in dried up dung, and he would put in dried up wood. So for it, almsmen, that food, that taking up, the great mass of fire would burn lasting a long time. OK just so, almsmen, on uptakable principles; from dwelling looking at the sweetness, longing grows. With support of longing, taking up. With support of taking up, becoming. With support of becoming, birth. With support of birth, ageing-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, distress, unrest arise. So for this entire mass of suffering the rise is.
On uptakable, almsmen, principles; from dwelling looking at the wretchedness, longing ceases. With cessation of longing, cessation of taking up. With cessation of taking up, cessation of becoming. With cessation of becoming, cessation of birth. With cessation of birth, ageing-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, distress, unrest cease. So for this entire mass of suffering the cessation is.
Also as that, almsmen, of ten cartloads of wood or twenty cartloads of wood or thirty cartloads of wood or forty cartloads of wood a great mass of fire would burn. There a man, not time by time would put in dry grass, and like not would put in dry dung, and not would put in dry wood. So indeed, almsmen, the great mass of fire, and earlier taking up for consummation and for another, offering no food would cease. OK just so, almsmen, on uptakable principles; from dwelling looking at the wretchedness, longing ceases. With cessation of longing, cessation of taking up. With cessation of taking up, cessation of becoming. With cessation of becoming, cessation of birth. With cessation of birth, ageing-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, distress, unrest cease. So for this entire mass of suffering the cessation is.'
