Hello. I’m having difficulty obtaining nutriment for intention, and feel a sense of starvation-pain there. I learned in Buddhism about this concept from the Āhāra Sutta [edit - mistakenly linked the wrong Āhāra Sutta], that nutriment for intention is necessary to sustain beings. Intention nutriment is also regarded as impermanent, conditioned phenomena that’s better to be detached from, though I don’t know how to obtain enlightenment and become detached from nutriment either. Is there a way to request & gain access to nutriment for intention within Buddhism? I’ve been unsuccessful in getting responses when asking like this in the past. Otherwise, is there a way I could gain enlightenment and become detached from nutriment? (I’ve been reading suttas/sutras from Theravāda & Mahāyāna over the past decade.)

Maybe I’m misunderstanding. You should definitely consume nutrition or you will die.
I’m having difficulty with getting intention nutriment (cetanā-āhāra), and don’t know how to go about requesting help.
Like, you’re trying to find motivation to eat good, healthy food?
I’m talking about nutriment for intention, cetanā āhāra. Forgive me, there was two Āhāra Suttas, and I accidentally linked the incorrect one.
When I click the link, the app I’m using (Raccoon) crashes, I can’t read it.
Can you briefly describe it in other terms?
I’d suggest speaking to a Buddhist teacher in person. From your comment I get the distinct feeling that you may be misunderstanding or misinterpreting the dharma.
What do you want me to talk to a Buddhist teacher about? What misunderstanding do I have?

I don’t want you to talk to a Buddhist teacher. I’m making a suggestion for your benefit, not for mine.
What misunderstanding do I have?
Buddhism by the looks of it.
Request from whom?
It can even be a prayer method. Finding access to intention-nutriment has been a recurring issue, and I’ve prayed for help for it before though. So I’m wondering if there’s better methods.
