Things Prone to Fuel Grasping

“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?
The eye is something that’s prone to fuel grasping.
The desire and greed for it is the grasping.
The ear … nose … tongue … body …
mind is something that’s prone to fuel grasping.
The desire and greed for it is the grasping.
These are called the things that fuel grasping, and this is the grasping.”
