At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

Bhikkhū, 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 saṅkhāra and intentions, as something to be felt.

Purāṇamidaṁ, bhikkhave, kammaṁ abhisaṅkhataṁ abhisañcetayitaṁ vedaniyaṁ daṭṭhabbaṁ.

A learned noble disciple carefully and properly attends to dependent origination itself:

Tatra kho, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako paṭiccasamuppādaññeva sādhukaṁ yoniso manasi karoti:

‘When this exists, that is; due to the arising of this, that arises.

‘iti imasmiṁ sati idaṁ hoti, imassuppādā idaṁ uppajjati;

When this doesn’t exist, that is not; due to the cessation of this, that ceases. That is:

imasmiṁ asati idaṁ na hoti, imassa nirodhā idaṁ nirujjhati, yadidaṁ—

Ignorance is a condition for saṅkhāra.

avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā;

Saṅkhāra are a condition 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, saṅkhāra cease.

Avijjāya tveva asesavirāganirodhā saṅkhāranirodho;

When saṅkhāra cease, consciousness ceases. …

saṅkhāranirodhā viññāṇanirodho …pe…

That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’”

evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī’”ti.
