So I learned:
On one occasion the exalted one dwells at Jetavane, Anāthapiṇḍika's park at Sāvatthi. OK, there the exalted one addressed the almsmen:
'Almsmen'
Those almsmen replied to the exalted one:
'Venerable sir'
The exalted one said this:
'I shall point out to you, almsmen, a dependent-co-arising. Hear that, pay attention well, I shall talk.'
OK, so those almsmen replied to the exalted one:
'Venerable'
The exalted one said this:
'And which, almsmen, dependent-co-arising?
With support of not knowing, almsmen, inclinations. With support of inclinations, cognition. With support of cognition, name-and-form. With support of name-and-form, hexad-base. With support of hexad-base, touch. With support of touch, feeling. With support of feeling, longing. With support of longing, taking up. With support of taking up, becoming. With support of becoming, birth. With support of birth, ageing-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, distress, unrest appear. So for this entire mass of suffering the rise is.
This is called, almsmen, dependent-co-arising.
However, with complete fading and cessation of not knowing, cessation of inclinations. With cessation of inclinations, cessation of cognition. With cessation of cognition, cessation of name-and-form. With cessation of name-and-form, cessation of hexad-base. With cessation of hexad-base, cessation of touch. With cessation of touch, cessation of feeling. With cessation of feeling, cessation of longing. With cessation of longing, cessation of taking up. With cessation of taking up, cessation of becoming. With cessation of becoming, cessation of birth. With cessation of birth, ageing-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, distress, unrest cease. So for this entire mass of suffering the cessation is.'
This said the exalted one.
Pleased, those almsmen welcomed the talk from the exalted one.
