while this answer was astute to identify MN 106, i marked it down because it appears MN 106 does not refer to vibhava tanha. If this answer includes some relevant quotes, i might change my view of it.

<p>What is the destination (rebirth) of a person with Vibhava Tanha?</p>
<p>There are three kinds of Tanha. (Kama, Bhava, Vibhava)
some description of Vibhava Tanha:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“And how do some slip right past? Some, feeling horrified, humiliated, &amp; disgusted with that very becoming, relish non-becoming: ‘When this self, at the break-up of the body, after death, perishes &amp; is destroyed, and does not exist after death, that is peaceful, that is exquisite, that is sufficiency!’ This is how some slip right past.</p>

What is the destination (rebirth) of a person with Vibhava Tanha?

There are three kinds of Tanha. (Kama, Bhava, Vibhava)
