When the great elements are completed, it should be done as "by way of base". The five sense-bases, in direct order also, in reverse order also, should be done as they are obtained. The section on concomitance also, the section on association also, is complete. There is no matter, only immateriality.) 7. The Section of Questions 1. Conditions in Direct Order 1. The Section of Analysis Root-Condition 17. A root-condition phenomenon is a condition to a root-condition phenomenon by way of root-condition: Non-greed is a condition to non-hatred, to non-delusion by way of root-condition (cycle). Greed is a condition to delusion by way of root-condition. Hatred is a condition to delusion by way of root-condition; at the moment of rebirth-linking...and so on.... (1) A root-condition phenomenon is a condition to a non-root-condition phenomenon by way of root-condition: The root-conditions are conditions to the associated aggregates and to the material forms arisen from mind by way of root-condition; at the moment of rebirth-linking...and so on.... (2) A root-condition phenomenon is a condition to a root-condition phenomenon and to a non-root-condition phenomenon by way of root-condition: Non-greed is a condition to non-hatred, to non-delusion, and to the associated aggregates, and to the material forms arisen from mind by way of root-condition (cycle). Greed to delusion...and so on... at the moment of rebirth-linking...and so on.... (3) Object-Condition 8. A root condition is a condition for a root condition by way of object condition: Having a root condition as object, root conditions arise. (1) A root condition is a condition for a non-root condition by way of object condition: Having a root condition as object, non-root aggregates arise. (2) A root condition is a condition for a root condition and a non-root condition by way of object condition: Having a root condition as object, root conditions and conjoined aggregates arise. (3) 19. A non-root condition is a condition for a non-root condition by way of object condition: Having given a gift, observed precepts… …performed the Uposatha ceremony, one reviews it; one reviews past good deeds. Having emerged from jhānas… …having emerged from noble paths, they review the path; the fruit… …Nibbāna… …Nibbāna is a condition for the gotrabhū, for purification, for the path, for the fruit, for advertence by way of object condition. Noble ones review abandoned defilements; they review suppressed defilements; they know defilements accumulated in the past; the eye… …the base, non-root aggregates as impermanent… …displeasure arises; with divine eye one sees forms; with divine ear element one hears sounds; with knowledge of others’ minds one knows the mind of one endowed with a non-root mind. The base of infinite space is a condition for the base of infinite consciousness… …the base of nothingness is a condition for the base of neither perception nor non-perception… …the form base is a condition for eye consciousness… …the tangible base is a condition for body consciousness… …non-root aggregates are a condition for the knowledge of psychic powers, for the knowledge of others’ minds, for the knowledge of recollection of past lives, for the knowledge of knowing beings’ destinies according to their karma, for the knowledge of future events, for advertence by way of object condition. (1) A non-root condition is a condition for a root condition by way of object condition: Having given a gift (only the first instance, there is no advertence. The form base is a condition for eye consciousness… the tangible base is a condition for body consciousness – this is not present). (2) A non-root condition is a condition for a root condition and a non-root condition… And that is a condition for a dhamma by way of object-condition – Having given a gift, observed morality… (etc.)… having performed the Uposatha act, one reflects on it. Referring to that, roots and associated aggregates arise. (Standing in each of these, this should be done like the second method). (3) 20. Roots and non-roots, dhammas, are a condition for a root dhamma by way of object-condition – Referring to roots and associated aggregates, roots arise. (1) Roots and non-roots, dhammas, are a condition for a non-root dhamma by way of object-condition – Referring to roots and associated aggregates, non-root aggregates arise. (2) Roots and non-roots, dhammas, are a condition for a root dhamma and a non-root dhamma by way of object-condition – Referring to roots and associated aggregates, roots and associated aggregates arise. (3) Predominance Condition 21. A root dhamma is a condition for a root dhamma by way of predominance-condition – Object-predominance, co-nascence-predominance. Object-predominance: making a root weighty, roots arise. Co-nascence-predominance: a root, being predominant, is a condition for associated roots by way of predominance-condition. (1) A root dhamma is a condition for a non-root dhamma by way of predominance-condition – Object-predominance, co-nascence-predominance. Object-predominance: making a root weighty, non-root aggregates arise. Co-nascence-predominance: a root, being predominant, is a condition for associated aggregates and mind-originated material forms by way of predominance-condition. (2) A root dhamma is a condition for a root dhamma and a non-root dhamma by way of predominance-condition – Object-predominance, co-nascence-predominance. Object-predominance: making a root weighty, roots and associated aggregates arise. Co-nascence-predominance: a root, being predominant, is a condition for associated aggregates, roots, and mind-originated material forms by way of predominance-condition. (3) 22. A non-root dhamma is a condition for a non-root dhamma by way of predominance-condition – object-predominance... Dominance by object, dominance by conascence. Dominance by object – having given a gift (to be expanded up to "non-causal aggregates"). Dominance by conascence – a non-causal dominant factor is a condition by way of dominance for conjoined aggregates and mind-originated material forms. (1) A non-causal phenomenon is a condition by way of dominance for a causal phenomenon – dominance by object, dominance by conascence. Dominance by object – having given a gift (abbreviated. To be done up to "basis and non-causal aggregates"). Dominance by conascence – a non-causal dominant factor is a condition by way of dominance for conjoined causes. (2) A non-causal phenomenon is a condition by way of dominance for a causal and a non-causal phenomenon – dominance by object, dominance by conascence. Dominance by object – having given a gift, morality… etc. … having performed the Uposatha observance, having made that important, one reflects; having made that important, non-causal aggregates and causes arise; previously well-practiced deeds (to be done up to "basis and non-causal aggregates"). Dominance by conascence – a non-causal dominant factor is a condition by way of dominance for conjoined aggregates, causes, and mind-originated material forms. (3) 23. Causal and non-causal phenomena are a condition by way of dominance for a causal phenomenon. Dominance by object – having made causes and conjoined aggregates important, causes arise. (1) Causal and non-causal phenomena are a condition by way of dominance for a non-causal phenomenon. Dominance by object – having made causes and conjoined aggregates important, non-causal aggregates arise. (2) Causal and non-causal phenomena are a condition by way of dominance for a causal and a non-causal phenomenon. Dominance by object – having made causes and conjoined aggregates important, causes and conjoined aggregates arise. (3)
