At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

“Mendicants, this body doesn’t belong to you or to anyone else. “Nāyaṁ, bhikkhave, kāyo tumhākaṁ napi aññesaṁ. It’s old deeds, and should be seen as produced by choices and intentions, as something to be felt. Purāṇamidaṁ, bhikkhave, kammaṁ abhisaṅkhataṁ abhisañcetayitaṁ vedaniyaṁ daṭṭhabbaṁ.

A learned noble disciple carefully and rationally applies the mind to dependent origination itself: Tatra kho, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako paṭiccasamuppādaññeva sādhukaṁ yoniso manasi karoti: ‘When this exists, this comes to be; due to the arising of this, this arises. ‘iti imasmiṁ sati idaṁ hoti, imassuppādā idaṁ uppajjati; When this doesn’t exist, this doesn’t come to be; due to the cessation of this, this ceases. That is: imasmiṁ asati idaṁ na hoti, imassa nirodhā idaṁ nirujjhati, yadidaṁ—Ignorance is a requirement for choices. avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā;

Choices are a requirement for consciousness. … saṅkhārapaccayā viññāṇaṁ …pe… That is how this entire mass of suffering originates. evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti. When ignorance fades away and ceases with nothing left over, choices cease. Avijjāya tveva asesavirāganirodhā saṅkhāranirodho; When choices cease, consciousness ceases. … saṅkhāranirodhā viññāṇanirodho …pe… That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’” evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī’”ti.

Sattamaṁ.
