sn12.35:3.1 “What is continued existence, sir, and who is it for?”
BAGIAN 3
sn12.35:3.2 “That’s not a cogent question,” said the Buddha. “You might say, ‘What is continued existence, and who does it belong to?’ Or you might say, ‘Continued existence is one thing, who it belongs to is another.’ But both of these mean the same thing, only the phrasing differs.
sn12.35:3.3 Mendicant, if you have the view that the soul and the body are one and the same, there is no living of the spiritual life.
sn12.35:3.4 If you have the view that the soul is one thing, the body another, there is no living of the spiritual life.

sn12.35:3.7 ‘Craving is a requirement for grasping.’ …
sn12.35:3.8 ‘Feeling is a requirement for craving.’ …
sn12.35:3.9 ‘Contact is a requirement for feeling.’ …
sn12.35:3.10 ‘The six sense fields are requirements for contact.’ …
sn12.35:3.11 ‘Name and form are requirements for the six sense fields.’ …
sn12.35:3.12 ‘Consciousness is a requirement for name and form.’ …
sn12.35:3.13 ‘Choices are a requirement for consciousness.’”
