The Lesser Discourse on the Destruction of Craving (MN 37)

A presentation and discussion of one of the more humorous discourses in the Middle Length Discourses which is also the source for the profound teaching that “Nothing is worth clinging to.” The text is a delight to read and provides a clear perspective on how some of these ancient texts attributed to the Buddha were constructed long after his death.
