"Venerable Sir! Other heretics declare thus, speak thus, make known thus, propound thus: 'Indeed, a single soul in a single instant experiences two lifespans, namely: the lifespan of this life, and the lifespan of the next life.
At the instant it experiences the lifespan of this life, at that instant it experiences the lifespan of the next life.
At the instant it experiences the lifespan of the next life, at that instant it experiences the lifespan of this life.
By experiencing the lifespan of this life, it experiences the lifespan of the next life;
by experiencing the lifespan of the next life, it experiences the lifespan of this life.
Thus indeed a single soul in a single instant experiences two lifespans, namely: the lifespan of this life, and the lifespan of the next life.'
How is this so, Venerable Sir?"
"Gautama! As to what those other heretics declare [...] up to 'Indeed, a single soul in a single instant experiences two lifespans, namely: the lifespan of this life, and the lifespan of the next life'—
those who say thus speak falsely. But I, Gautama, declare thus, speak thus, make known thus, propound thus: 'Indeed, a single soul in a single instant experiences one lifespan, namely: either the lifespan of this life, or the lifespan of the next life.
At the instant it experiences the lifespan of this life, it does not experience the lifespan of the next life at that instant.
At the instant it experiences the lifespan of the next life, it does not experience the lifespan of this life at that instant.
By experiencing the lifespan of this life, it does not experience the lifespan of the next life;
by experiencing the lifespan of the next life, it does not experience the lifespan of this life.
Thus indeed a single soul in a single instant experiences one lifespan, namely: either the lifespan of this life, or the lifespan of the next life.'"
"So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!" [saying this], the Venerable Gautama [...] continues to dwell.
