This particular sutta stands out from most of the suttas in this Samyutta because in addition to the 12 typical links, there is also a sequence given of the conditioned path that leads out of the suffering.

"So, as I said, Kālāmas: 'Don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, "This contemplative is our teacher." When you know for yourselves that, "These qualities are unskillful; these qualities are blameworthy; these qualities are criticized by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to harm & to suffering" — then you should abandon them.' Thus was it said. And in reference to this was it said. (Ven. Thanissaro trans)

MN 075 Māgandiya: To Māgandiya

The Buddha uses an unforgettable simile about a leper scratching an insatiable itch from a cauterized wound to explain the nature of sensory pleasure and how an end can not be found by satisfying desire. There is also an explanation of what type of pleasure is far superior, and why we should pursue it (but not in Thanissaro's sutta text excerpt, see B.Bodhi version).

Another interesting event in this sutta is how the Buddha scathingly denounces wrong views of certain other Brahmans in a very humorous way.

This sutta already blogged recently, but I'm testing out my ability to do a podcast, the podcatcher (juice), which seems to need an mp3 hyperlink in the blog title, and our new footer hyperlink. Let's see if it all worked...
