17. The Triad of the Arisen 7. The Section of Questions 1. The Direct Order of Conditions 1. The Section of Analysis Condition of Root 1. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of root condition. Arisen roots are a condition for associated aggregates and mind-originated matter by way of root condition. At the moment of rebirth-linking, arisen roots are a condition for associated aggregates and kamma-born matter by way of root condition. (1) Condition of Object 2. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of object condition. One discerns the arisen eye as impermanent, as suffering, as not-self. One relishes it, one delights in it. Concerning that, lust arises, wrong view arises, doubt... restlessness... displeasure arises. One discerns the arisen ear, nose, tongue, body, forms, sounds, odours, tastes, tangibles, base, arisen aggregates as impermanent, as suffering, as not-self... displeasure arises. With the divine eye, one sees form. With the divine ear element, one hears sound. The form base is a condition for eye-consciousness... the tangible base for body-consciousness... Arisen aggregates are a condition for the knowledge of psychic power and for advertence by way of object condition. (1) 3. A not-arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of object condition. One discerns not-arisen forms, sounds, odours, tastes, tangibles, not-arisen aggregates as impermanent, as suffering, as not-self... displeasure arises. Not-arisen aggregates are a condition for the knowledge of psychic power, for the knowledge of penetrating minds, for the knowledge of future events, and for advertence by way of object condition. (1) 4. An arising phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of object condition. One discerns the arising eye... body, forms, odours, tastes, tangibles, base, arising aggregates as impermanent, as suffering, as not-self... displeasure arises. Arising aggregates are a condition for the knowledge of psychic power, for the knowledge of penetrating minds, for the knowledge of future events, and for advertence by way of object condition. Condition. (1) Dominance Condition 5. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of the dominance condition – object dominance, co-arisen dominance.

The arisen ear… nose… tongue… body… forms… sounds… smells… tastes… tangibles… base… having made the arisen aggregates important, one enjoys and delights in them; having made them important, lust arises… (and so on). Co-arisen dominance – arisen dominants are a condition for associated aggregates and mind-originated material phenomena by way of the dominance condition. (1) A non-arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of the dominance condition. Object dominance – having made non-arisen forms… sounds… smells… tastes… tangibles… non-arisen aggregates important, one enjoys and delights in them; having made them important, lust arises, wrong view arises. (1) A phenomenon about to arise is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of the dominance condition. Object dominance – having made the eye about to arise… (and so on) body… forms… (and so on) tangibles… base… aggregates about to arise important, one enjoys and delights in them; having made them important, lust arises, wrong view arises. (1) Co-arisen Condition 6. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by way of the co-arisen condition – one arisen aggregate is a condition for three aggregates and mind-originated material phenomena by way of the co-arisen condition… (and so on) two aggregates are a condition for two aggregates and mind-originated material phenomena by way of the co-arisen condition. At the moment of rebirth-linking, one arisen aggregate is a condition for three aggregates and kamma-originated material phenomena by way of the co-arisen condition… (and so on) two aggregates are a condition for two aggregates and kamma-originated material phenomena by way of the co-arisen condition. Aggregates are a condition for the base by way of the co-arisen condition. The base is a condition for the aggregates by way of the co-arisen condition. One great element for three great elements… The great elements are a condition by co-nascence. ... Two great elements... ... The great elements are a condition by co-nascence for mind-originated forms, kamma-originated forms, derived forms. External... food-originated... temperature-originated... For non-percipient beings, one great element... ... two great elements... ... the great elements are a condition by co-nascence for kamma-originated forms and derived forms. (1) Mutuality Condition 7. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by mutuality. One arisen aggregate is a condition for three aggregates by mutuality. ... Two aggregates... ... At the moment of rebirth, one arisen aggregate is a condition for three aggregates and the base by mutuality. Two aggregates... ... Aggregates are a condition for the base by mutuality. The base is a condition for the aggregates by mutuality. One great element... ... external... food-originated... temperature-originated... For non-percipient beings, one great element is a condition for three great elements by mutuality. ... Two great elements... ... (1) Support Condition 8. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by support. One arisen aggregate is a condition for three aggregates and mind-originated forms by support. ... Two aggregates... ... At the moment of rebirth... ... Aggregates for the base... ... The base for the aggregates... ... One great element... ... external... food-originated... temperature-originated... For non-percipient beings, one great element... ... The great elements for mind-originated forms, kamma-originated forms, derived forms. The eye-base for eye-consciousness... ... The body-base for body-consciousness... ... The base is a condition for arisen aggregates by support. (1) Decisive Support Condition 9. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by decisive support. Object decisive support, natural decisive support... ... Natural decisive support – having decisive support on arisen temperature, jhana arises. It produces, insight... path... higher knowledge... attainment it produces. Conceit it mutters, views it grasps. Relying on arisen food... lodging, jhana it produces, insight... path... higher knowledge... attainment it produces. Conceit it mutters, views it grasps. Arisen season... food... lodging, for arisen faith... wisdom, for bodily pleasure, for bodily pain, for the path, for the attainment of fruition, is a condition by way of strong dependence. (1) A non-arisen phenomenon for an arisen phenomenon is a condition by way of strong dependence: object strong dependence, natural strong dependence... Natural strong dependence: Desiring non-arisen beauty of form, one gives alms, undertakes precepts, performs Uposatha duties. Desiring non-arisen beauty of sound... beauty of smell... beauty of taste... beauty of touch... desiring non-arisen aggregates, one gives alms, undertakes precepts, performs Uposatha duties. Non-arisen beauty of form... non-arisen aggregates, for arisen faith... wisdom, for bodily pleasure, for bodily pain, for the path, for the attainment of fruition, is a condition by way of strong dependence. (1) A phenomenon that will arise for an arisen phenomenon is a condition by way of strong dependence: object strong dependence, natural strong dependence...

Desiring future beauty of hearing... beauty of body... beauty of form... beauty of smell... beauty of taste... beauty of touch... desiring future aggregates, one gives alms, undertakes precepts, performs Uposatha duties. Future beauty of sight... beauty of body... beauty of form... beauty of touch... future aggregates, for arisen faith... wisdom, for bodily pleasure, for bodily pain, for the path, for the attainment of fruition, is a condition by way of strong dependence. (1) Pre-nascent condition 10. An arisen phenomenon is a condition for an arisen phenomenon by pre-nascent condition – object pre-nascent, basis pre-nascent. Object pre-nascent – the eye…etc.… one discerns the basis as impermanent, as suffering, as non-self, one relishes it, one delights in it, and regarding that, lust arises…etc.… displeasure arises. With the divine eye one sees forms, with the divine ear element one hears sounds. The form base is a condition for eye-consciousness…etc.… the tangible base is a condition for body-consciousness by pre-nascent condition.
