At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, this body doesn’t belong to you or to anyone else.
It’s old deeds, and should be seen as produced by choices and intentions, as something to be felt.
A learned noble disciple carefully and rationally applies the mind to dependent origination itself:
‘When this exists, that is; due to the arising of this, that arises.
When this doesn’t exist, that is not; due to the cessation of this, that ceases. That is:
Ignorance is a condition for choices.
Choices are a condition for consciousness. …
That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
When ignorance fades away and ceases with nothing left over, choices cease.
When choices cease, consciousness ceases. …
That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’”
