5.1
‘Bhavapaccayā jātī’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ, tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā bhavapaccayā jāti.
‘Continued existence is a requirement for rebirth’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
5.2
Bhavo ca hi, ānanda, nābhavissa sabbena sabbaṃ sabbathā sabbaṃ kassaci kimhici, seyyathidaṃ—
Suppose there were totally and utterly no continued existence for anyone anywhere.
5.3
kāmabhavo vā rūpabhavo vā arūpabhavo vā, sabbaso bhave asati bhavanirodhā api nu kho jāti paññāyethā”ti?
That is, continued existence in the sensual realm, the realm of luminous form, or the formless realm. When there’s no continued existence at all, with the cessation of continued existence, would rebirth still be found?”
5.4
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
5.5
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo jātiyā, yadidaṃ bhavo.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of rebirth, namely continued existence.
