sn12.47:3.2 “‘All does not exist’: this is the second extreme.
sn12.47:3.3 Avoiding these two extremes, the Realized One teaches by the middle way:

sn12.47:3.5 Choices are a requirement for consciousness. …

sn12.47:3.7 When ignorance fades away and ceases with no residue left behind, choices cease.
sn12.47:3.8 When choices cease, consciousness ceases. …
sn12.47:3.9 That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’”
