sn12.38:1.1 At Sāvatthī.
sn12.38:1.2 “Mendicants, what you intend or plan, and what you have underlying tendencies for become a support for the continuation of consciousness.
sn12.38:1.3 When this support exists, consciousness becomes established.
sn12.38:1.4 When consciousness is established and grows, there is regeneration into a new state of existence in the future.
sn12.38:1.5 When there is regeneration into a new state of existence in the future, future rebirth, old age, and death come to be, as do sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress.
sn12.38:1.6 That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
