sn12.51:3.1 “Mendicants, take a mendicant who makes an inquiry:
sn12.51:3.2 ‘The suffering that arises in the world starting with old age and death takes many and diverse forms.
sn12.51:3.3 What is the source, origin, birthplace, and inception of this suffering?
sn12.51:3.4 When what exists do old age and death come to be? When what does not exist do old age and death not come to be?’
sn12.51:3.5 While making an inquiry they understand:
sn12.51:3.6 ‘The suffering that arises in the world starting with old age and death takes many and diverse forms. The source of this suffering is rebirth.
sn12.51:3.7 When rebirth exists, old age and death come to be. When rebirth doesn’t exist, old age and death don’t come to be.’
