The Conduit To Rebirth

this is called the conduit to rebirth.
At Sāvatthī.
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘the cessation of the conduit to rebirth’.
What is the conduit to rebirth? And what is the cessation of the conduit to rebirth?”
“Rādha, any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for form; and any attraction, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies—
this is called the conduit to rebirth.
Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to rebirth.
Any desire, greed, relishing, and craving for feeling …
perception …
choices …
consciousness; and any attraction, grasping, mental fixation, insistence, and underlying tendencies—
Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to rebirth.”
