Now learn from me with attentive minds the division of Living Beings and Things without life, which a monk must know who is to exert himself in self-control. (1)
The Living Beings and the Things without life make up this world (Lôka); but the space where only Things without life are found is called the Non-world (Alôka). (2)
The Living Beings and the Things without life will be described with reference to 1. substance, 2. place, 3. time, and 4. development. (3)
A. Things without life.
Things without life are 1. possessing form, 2. formless; the formless things are of ten kinds, those possessing form are of four kinds. (4)
(1) The ten kinds of formless things: 1. Dharma, 2. its divisions, 3. its indivisible parts; 4. Adharma, 5. its divisions, 6. its indivisible parts; 7. space, 8. its divisions, 9. its indivisible parts, and 10. time. (5, 6)
Dharma and Adharma are co-extensive with the World (Lôka); space fills the World and the Non-world (Alôka); time exists in what is called the place of time. (7)
Dharma, Adharma, and Space are ever without beginning and end. (8)
And time also, if regarded as a continuous flow, is called so (i.e. without beginning and end); but with regard to an individual thing it has a beginning and an end. (9)
(2) The four kinds of things possessing form are 1. compound things, 2. their divisions, 3. their indivisible parts, and 4. atoms. (10)
