Commentary On Anguttara Nikaya

Trenscend desires, Not destroy desires.
@AnguttaraNikaya
Bhikkhus, which person has desires to attain it? Bhikkhus, a certain person is virtuous, with good conduct, and leads the holy life. He hears: The bhikkhu of this name having destroyed desires, released his mind from desires, released through wisdom, abides here and now having realized it. It occurs to him: O! When shall I destroy desires, attain the release of mind, the release through wisdom and by myself realizing, abide here and now? Bhikkhus, this person has hopes to attain it.

Trenscending, Not Destroying.
@AnguttaraNikaya
ânanda, it was on account of this, that I had answered thus to Punnaka in the Parayanavagga:
Destroying everything high and low, if he does not tremble,
Is appeased, emancipated, without confusion and desires,
I say, he has crossed birth and decay.

Introduction of Anguttara Nikaya

Anguttara Nikaya (aṅguttaranikāya; literally "Increased by One Collection," also translated "Gradual Collection" or "Numerical Discourses") is a Buddhist scripture, the fourth of the five nikayas, or collections, in the Sutta Pitaka, which is one of the "three baskets" that comprise the Pali Tipitaka of Theravada Buddhism. This nikaya consists of several thousand discourses ascribed to the Buddha and his chief disciples arranged in eleven nipatas, or books, according to the number of dhamma items referenced in them.
The Anguttara Nikaya corresponds to the Ekottara Āgama ("Increased by One Discourses") found in the Sutra Pitikas of various Sanskritic early Buddhists schools, fragments of which survive in Sanskrit. A complete version survives in Chinese translation by the name Zēngyī Ahánjīng (增一阿含經); it is thought to be from either the Mahāsāṃghika or Sarvāstivādin recensions. According to Keown, "there is considerable disparity between the Pāli and the Sarvāstivādin versions, with more than two-thirds of the sūtras found in one but not the other compilation, which suggests that much of this portion of the Sūtra Piṭaka was not formed until a fairly late date."[1]
