3.2.3. Chapter on Origination and Cessation (Uppadanirodhavāra) (YA3.2.3)

6. Chapter on the Past and Future (Atītanagatavāra)

Positive (Anuloma) Person (Puggala)

Eye base had arisen to this person. Will ear base cease to that person? To those at the death-moment of final-existence persons in the five-aggregate plane, to those final-existence persons in the immaterial plane and to those at the death-moment who will be born at the immaterial plane and will die there (without being reborn, i.e. Parinibbāna), eye base had arisen; ear base will not cease to those persons. To other persons eye base had arisen and also ear base will cease.

Ear base will cease to this person. Had eye base arisen to that person? Yes.

(The question of Person, Plane. Person and Plane, Positive, Negative in the Past and Future of Cessation Chapter have been explained. The questions in the Past and Future of this Origination- Cessation Chapter should be explained similarly.)
