Rain on a Mountaintop Filling the Ocean

1 discourse

AN 10.62 Taṇhā sutta - Craving

While a first point of craving for existence is not discerned, it can be discerned that craving for existence has a supporting condition. Using the simile of mountain rain filling the ocean, the Buddha traces the nutriments for craving for existence alongside those for true knowledge and liberation.
