The Section on Clinging The Dyad of Clinging The Conditioned Section Direct Order of Conditions The Section on Analysis Root Condition Dependent on a phenomenon of clinging, a phenomenon of non-clinging arises, by root condition – dependent on clinging, the associated aggregates and mind-originated matter. (1) Dependent on a phenomenon of non-clinging, a phenomenon of non-clinging arises, by root condition – dependent on one aggregate of non-clinging, three aggregates and mind-originated matter...etc. two aggregates...etc. at the moment of rebirth-linking...etc. (up to non-percipient beings, great elements). (1) Dependent on a phenomenon of non-clinging, a phenomenon of clinging arises, by root condition – dependent on the aggregates of non-clinging, clinging. (2) Dependent on a phenomenon of non-clinging, phenomena of clinging and non-clinging arise, by root condition – dependent on one aggregate of non-clinging, three aggregates, and clinging, and mind-originated matter...etc. two aggregates...etc. (3) Dependent on a phenomenon of clinging and non-clinging, a phenomenon of non-clinging arises, by root condition – dependent on one aggregate of non-clinging and clinging, three aggregates, and mind-originated matter...etc. and two aggregates...etc. dependent on clinging and the great elements, mind-originated matter. (1) Direct Order of Conditions The Section on Enumeration In root condition, five, in object condition, five (everywhere five), in resultant condition, one...etc. in non-disappearance condition, five. Direct Order. Inverse Order of Conditions The Section on Analysis Not-Root Condition Dependent on a phenomenon of non-clinging, a phenomenon of non-clinging arises, by not-root condition – dependent on one rootless aggregate of non-clinging, three aggregates, and mind-originated matter...etc. two aggregates...etc. at the moment of rootless rebirth-linking...etc. (up to non-percipient beings) dependent on aggregates associated with doubt and restlessness, doubt-associated, restlessness-associated delusion. (1) Not-Object Condition Dependent on a phenomenon of clinging, a phenomenon of non-clinging A state arises not by way of object condition: dependent on clinging, mind-originated matter. (1) Dependent on a non-clinging state, a non-clinging state arises not by way of object condition: dependent on non-clinging aggregates, mind-originated matter; at the moment of rebirth-linking... and so on... (up to the non-percipient beings). (1) Dependent on a clinging state and a non-clinging state, a non-clinging state arises not by way of object condition: dependent on clinging and the associated aggregates, mind-originated matter. (1) 2. The Negative of Conditions 2. The Enumeration Section Pure 7. Not by way of root condition, one; not by way of object condition, three; not by way of dominance condition, five; not by way of contiguity condition, three; not by way of immediate contiguity condition, three; not by way of mutuality condition, three; not by way of strong dependence condition, three; not by way of pre-existence condition, five; not by way of post-existence condition, five; not by way of repetition condition, five; not by way of kamma condition, three; not by way of result condition, five; not by way of nutriment condition, one; not by way of faculty condition, one; not by way of jhāna condition, one; not by way of path condition, one; not by way of association condition, three; not by way of dissociation condition, five; not by way of absence condition, three; not by way of disappearance condition, three. 3. The Affirmative-Negative of Conditions The Dyad of Roots 8. By way of root condition, not by way of object condition, three; not by way of dominance condition, five... and so on... not by way of result condition, five... and so on... not by way of association condition, three; not by way of dissociation condition, five; not by way of absence condition, three; not by way of disappearance condition, three. 4. The Negative-Affirmative of Conditions The Dyad of Non-Roots 9. Not by way of root condition, by way of object condition, one; by way of contiguity condition, one (everywhere one); by way of presence condition, one. 2. The Co-existence Section (The Co-existence Section is also similar to the Dependent Origination Section.) 3. The Conditions Section 1. The Affirmative of Conditions 1. The Analysis Section Root Condition 10. Dependent on a clinging state, a non-clinging state arises by way of root condition: dependent on clinging, the associated aggregates and mind-originated matter. (1) Dependent on a non-clinging state, a non-clinging state arises by way of root condition: dependent on one non-clinging aggregate, three aggregates and mind-originated matter... and so on... two aggregates... and so on... at the moment of rebirth-linking... and so on... (up to the internal great elements), dependent on the base. The aggregates are not to be grasped. (1) A state not to be grasped arises from a state to be grasped, by way of root condition – grasping arises from aggregates not to be grasped, grasping arises from the base. (2) States to be grasped and not to be grasped arise from a state not to be grasped, by way of root condition – from one aggregate not to be grasped, three aggregates, grasping, and mind-originated matter… (and so on)… from two aggregates… (and so on)… grasping arises from the base, mind-originated matter arises from the great elements, grasping and associated aggregates arise from the base. (3) 11. A state not to be grasped arises from a state to be grasped and a state not to be grasped, by way of root condition – from one aggregate not to be grasped and grasping, three aggregates and mind-originated matter… (and so on)… from two aggregates… (and so on)… mind-originated matter arises from grasping and associated aggregates, mind-originated matter arises from grasping and the great elements, aggregates not to be grasped arise from grasping and the base (summarized). (1) 1. Conducive Conditions 2. Enumeration 12. Five in root, five in object, five in dominance (five in all), one in result… (and so on)… five in non-disappearance. 2. Averse Conditions 1. Analysis Non-root condition 13. A state not to be grasped arises from a state not to be grasped, by way of non-root condition – from one rootless aggregate not to be grasped, three aggregates and mind-originated matter… (and so on)… from two aggregates… (and so on)… at the moment of rootless rebirth… (and so on, up to the non-percipient beings) visual consciousness arises from the eye-base… (and so on)… bodily consciousness arises from the body-base, rootless aggregates not to be grasped arise from the base; delusion accompanied by doubt and restlessness arises from the aggregates accompanied by doubt and restlessness and the base (summarized). 2. Averse Conditions 2. Enumeration Pure 14. One in non-root, in non-object three, not by dominance five, not by contiguity three…etc… not by strong dependence three, not by pre-existence five, not by post-existence five, not by repetition five, not by kamma three, not by result five, not by nutriment one, not by faculty one, not by jhāna one, not by path one, not by association three, not by dissociation five, not by absence three, not by disappearance three. 3. Conditions in direct and reverse order 15. By root condition, not in object three, not in dominance five (thus should be done everywhere). 4. Conditions in reverse and direct order 16. Not by root condition, in object one…etc… in non-disappearance one. 4. Section on Support (The section on support is similar to the section on conditions.) 5. Section on Concomitance A defiling phenomenon, concomitant with a non-defiling phenomenon, arises by root condition – associated aggregates concomitant with defilement (thus five questions should be made only in the formless, the section on concomitance and the section on association should be done thus). 7. Section on Questions 1. Conditions in direct order 1. Section on Analysis Root Condition 17. A non-defiling phenomenon to a non-defiling phenomenon is a condition by root condition – non-defiling roots to associated aggregates and to mind-originated material forms are a condition by root condition; at the moment of rebirth-linking…etc…. (1) A non-defiling phenomenon to a defiling phenomenon is a condition by root condition – non-defiling roots to defilement are a condition by root condition. (2) A non-defiling phenomenon to a defiling phenomenon and to a non-defiling phenomenon is a condition by root condition – non-defiling roots to associated aggregates and to defilement and to mind-originated material forms are a condition by root condition. (3) Object Condition 18. A defiling phenomenon to a defiling phenomenon is a condition by object condition – having taken defilement as object, defilement arises. (The root should be done) having taken defilement as object, non-defiling aggregates arise. (The root should be done) having taken defilement as object, defilement and associated aggregates arise. (3) 19. Non-defiling A non-clinging phenomenon is a condition for a non-clinging phenomenon by way of object condition. Having performed generosity…etc… morality…etc… the Uposatha observance, one reflects on it, enjoys it, delights in it. Concerning that, lust…etc… doubt… restlessness… disappointment arises. Previously well-practiced deeds…etc… Having emerged from jhānas, they reflect on jhānas…etc… Having emerged from noble paths, they reflect on the path, they reflect on the fruit, they reflect on Nibbāna. Nibbāna is a condition for lineage-change, for purification, for the path, for the fruit, for advertence, by way of object condition. Noble ones reflect on non-clinging defilements that have been abandoned…etc… defilements that have been suppressed…etc… previously…etc… the eye…etc… the base.
