While abiding at Savatthi... [The Fortunate One said this,] "Mendicants, what one perceives, what one thinks over, and what one fills the senses with: this supports the continuation of consciousness.
When one recollects the sense object, consciousness is established, therefore, wherever consciousness is established is where it increases for the future, leading to more becoming later on.
When there is more becoming later on, one should recollect there will also be birth, old age & death, as-well as grief, lamentation, pain, sorrow, & despair, and so there is the origination of this whole mass of suffering.”
"Mendicants, what one does not perceive, nor think over, yet one does fill the senses with: this to supports the continuation of consciousness.
When one recollects the sense object, consciousness is established, therefore, where consciousness is established is where it increases for the future, leading to more becoming later on.
When there is more becoming later on, one should recollect there will also be birth, old age & death, as-well as grief, lamentation, pain, sorrow, & despair, and so there is the origination of this whole mass of suffering.”
"Mendicants, what one does not perceives, what one does not think over, and one does not fill the senses with: This does not support the continuation of consciousness.
When one does not recollect the sense object, consciousness is not established, therefore, when consciousness is not established it does not increases for the future, leading to no more becoming later on.
When there is no more becoming later on, one should recollect there will also be a ceasing of birth, old age & death, as-well as grief, lamentation, pain, sorrow, & despair, and so there is the destruction of this whole mass of suffering.”
