6.1
‘Upādānapaccayā bhavo’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ, tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā upādānapaccayā bhavo.
‘Grasping is a requirement for continued existence’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
6.2
Upādānañca hi, ānanda, nābhavissa sabbena sabbaṃ sabbathā sabbaṃ kassaci kimhici, seyyathidaṃ—
Suppose there were totally and utterly no grasping for anyone anywhere.
6.3
kāmupādānaṃ vā diṭṭhupādānaṃ vā sīlabbatupādānaṃ vā attavādupādānaṃ vā, sabbaso upādāne asati upādānanirodhā api nu kho bhavo paññāyethā”ti?
That is, grasping at sensual pleasures, views, precepts and observances, and theories of a self. When there’s no grasping at all, with the cessation of grasping, would continued existence still be found?”
6.4
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
6.5
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo bhavassa, yadidaṃ upādānaṃ.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of continued existence, namely grasping.
