sn12.61:5.2 ‘So, when this exists, this comes to be; due to the arising of this, this arises.
sn12.61:5.3 When this doesn’t exist, this doesn’t come to be; due to the cessation of this, this ceases. That is:

sn12.61:5.5 Choices are a requirement for consciousness. …
sn12.61:5.6 That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
sn12.61:5.7 When ignorance fades away and ceases no residue left behind, choices cease.
sn12.61:5.8 When choices cease, consciousness ceases. …
sn12.61:5.9 That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’
