[1] Thus have I heard:
The Exalted One was once staying near Sāvatthī
at the Jeta Grove in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.
And there the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:
"Brethren!"
"Master!" responded those brethren.
The Exalted One said:
"Brethren, the arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of body, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.
The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of feeling, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.
The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of perception, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.
The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of the activities, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.
The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of consciousness, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.
§
Moreover, brethren, the ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of body, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.
The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of feeling,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.
The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of perception, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.
The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of the activities, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.
The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of consciousness, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.
