Grasping

“Mendicants, there are these four kinds of grasping.
What four?
Grasping at sensual pleasures, views, precepts and observances, and theories of a self.
These are the four kinds of grasping.
The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these four kinds of grasping.”
