SN 12.39 Intention (2nd) – Dutiyacetanāsutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

Bhikkhū, what you intend or plan, and what you have underlying tendencies for become a support for the continuation of consciousness.

“Yañca, bhikkhave, ceteti yañca pakappeti yañca anuseti, ārammaṇametaṁ hoti viññāṇassa ṭhitiyā.

When this support exists, consciousness becomes established.

Ārammaṇe sati patiṭṭhā viññāṇassa hoti.

When consciousness is established, name and form are conceived.

Tasmiṁ patiṭṭhite viññāṇe virūḷhe nāmarūpassa avakkanti hoti.

Name and form are conditions for the six sense fields.

Nāmarūpapaccayā saḷāyatanaṁ;

The six sense fields are conditions for contact.

saḷāyatanapaccayā phasso;

Contact is a condition for feeling. …

phassapaccayā vedanā …pe…

craving …

taṇhā …

grasping …

upādānaṁ …

continued existence …

bhavo …

rebirth …

jāti …

old age and death,

jarāmaraṇaṁ …

sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress come to be.

sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā sambhavanti.

That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.

Evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.

If you don’t intend or plan, but still have underlying tendencies, this becomes a support for the continuation of consciousness.

No ce, bhikkhave, ceteti no ce pakappeti, atha ce anuseti, ārammaṇametaṁ hoti viññāṇassa ṭhitiyā.

When this support exists, consciousness becomes established.

Ārammaṇe sati patiṭṭhā viññāṇassa hoti.

When consciousness is established, name and form are conceived.

Tasmiṁ patiṭṭhite viññāṇe virūḷhe nāmarūpassa avakkanti hoti.

Name and form are conditions for the six sense fields. …

Nāmarūpapaccayā saḷāyatanaṁ …pe…

That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.

evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.

If you don’t intend or plan or have underlying tendencies, this doesn’t become a support for the continuation of consciousness.

Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, no ceva ceteti no ca pakappeti no ca anuseti, ārammaṇametaṁ na hoti viññāṇassa ṭhitiyā.

With no support, consciousness is not established.

Ārammaṇe asati patiṭṭhā viññāṇassa na hoti.

When consciousness is not established and doesn’t grow, name and form are not conceived.

Tadappatiṭṭhite viññāṇe avirūḷhe nāmarūpassa avakkanti na hoti.

When name and form cease, the six sense fields cease. …

Nāmarūpanirodhā saḷāyatananirodho …pe…

That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.”

evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti.
