Abandoning Being Capable of Destroying Discontentedness

Monks, without directly knowing and fully understanding form … feeling … perception … volitional formations (choices/decisions) … consciousness, without becoming free from strong feelings towards it and abandoning it, one is incapable of destroying discontentedness.

Monks, by directly knowing and fully understanding form … feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness, by becoming free from strong feelings towards it and abandoning it, one is capable of destroying discontentedness.

Monks, abandon desire and craving for form … for feeling … for perception … for volitional formations … for consciousness.

Thus that form … feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so that it is no more subject to future arising.

(Reference: SN 35.26)

In this Teaching from Gotama Buddha, he shares to eliminate craving/desire for The Five Aggregates of form, feeling, perception, volitional formations (choices/decisions), and consciousness.

Through the elimination of clinging to The Five Aggregates, a being can be freed from discontentedness and The Cycle of Rebirth.

A Practitioner will need to know through direct experience and fully understand what The Five Aggregates are and how to eliminate clinging to The Five Aggregates in order to eliminate discontentedness from the mind.
