Upādāniya sutta: Things That Fuel Grasping

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you the things that fuel grasping, and the grasping. Listen …

What are the things that fuel grasping? And what is the grasping?

Form is something that fuels grasping. The desire and greed for it is the grasping.

Feeling …

Perception …

Choices …

Consciousness is something that fuels grasping. The desire and greed for it is the grasping.

These are called the things that fuel grasping, and this is the grasping.”
