Clinging / Grasping / Attachment
取
Grammar 語法
neuter noun (a-stem): from upādiyati (to take up, cling to)
Definition 釋義
The ninth link of Dependent Origination — clinging arising from craving (taṇhā). Four types: (1) kāmupādāna — clinging to sensual pleasures; (2) diṭṭhupādāna — clinging to views; (3) sīlabbatupādāna — clinging to rites and rituals; (4) attavādupādāna — clinging to the doctrine of self. Upādāna is distinguished from taṇhā by its more developed, entrenched quality — taṇhā is the reaching; upādāna is the grip. Upādāna conditions bhava (becoming) and is thus the proximate cause of continued existence.
Canonical Example 典籍例句
Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṃ; upādānapaccayā bhavo.
With craving as condition, clinging [arises]; with clinging as condition, becoming [arises].
