āEvaį¹, bhanteāti kho te bhikkhÅ« bhagavato paccassosuį¹. āYes, sir,ā they replied.
BhagavÄ etadavoca: The Buddha said this:
āKatamo ca, bhikkhave, dukkhassa samudayo? āAnd what, mendicants, is the origin of suffering?
CakkhuƱca paį¹icca rÅ«pe ca uppajjati cakkhuviƱƱÄį¹aį¹. Tiį¹į¹aį¹ saį¹
gati phasso. Eye consciousness arises dependent on the eye and sights. The meeting of the three is contact. This discourse (and the next two) begin with consciousness in the process of sense stimulation. They offer a compressed sequence that focuses on the arising of suffering in the present life, and how by letting go of craving it is possible to not generate a future life.
PhassapaccayÄ vedanÄ; Contact is a requirement for feeling.
vedanÄpaccayÄ taį¹hÄ. Feeling is a requirement for craving. ā¦ The text jumps straight from craving to suffering, although the full sequence is stated in the cessation series. The next discourse, which is otherwise similar, lists all the factors, and the one after that goes to grasping, then indicates an abbreviation. I think the full sequence is meant in every case, and the sign of abbreviation in the Pali text is missing by mistake.
