sn12.40:1.1 At Sāvatthī.
sn12.40:1.2 “Mendicants, what you intend or plan, and what you have underlying tendencies for become a support for the continuation of consciousness.
sn12.40:1.3 When this support exists, consciousness becomes established.
sn12.40:1.4 When consciousness is established and grows, there is an inclination.
sn12.40:1.5 When there is an inclination, there is coming and going.
sn12.40:1.6 When there is coming and going, there is passing away and reappearing.
sn12.40:1.7 When there is passing away and reappearing, future rebirth, old age, and death come to be, as do sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress.
sn12.40:1.8 That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
