sn12.37:2.1 A learned noble disciple carefully and rationally applies the mind to dependent origination itself:
sn12.37:2.2 ‘So, when this exists, this comes to be; due to the arising of this, this arises.
sn12.37:2.3 When this doesn’t exist, this doesn’t come to be; due to the cessation of this, this ceases. That is:
sn12.37:2.4 Ignorance is a requirement for choices.
sn12.37:2.5 Choices are a requirement for consciousness. …
sn12.37:2.6 That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
sn12.37:2.7 When ignorance fades away and ceases with no residue left behind, choices cease.
sn12.37:2.8 When choices cease, consciousness ceases. …
sn12.37:2.9 That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’”
