[291] And again, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells contemplating dhammas in dhammas with regard to the five aggregates subject to clinging (pañcupādānakkhandhā). And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu dwell contemplating dhammas in dhammas with regard to the five aggregates subject to clinging? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu contemplates: 'Such is form (rūpa), such is the origin of form, such is the passing away of form; such is feeling (vedanā), such is the origin of feeling, such is the passing away of feeling; such is perception (saññā), such is the origin of perception, such is the passing away of perception; such are volitional formations (saṅkhārā), such is the origin of volitional formations, such is the passing away of volitional formations; such is consciousness (viññāṇa), such is the origin of consciousness, such is the passing away of consciousness.'
Thus he dwells contemplating dhammas in dhammas internally, or he dwells contemplating dhammas in dhammas externally, or he dwells contemplating dhammas in dhammas both internally and externally. He dwells contemplating the nature of origination in dhammas, or he dwells contemplating the nature of vanishing in dhammas, or he dwells contemplating the nature of both origination and vanishing in dhammas. Or else his mindfulness that 'there are dhammas' is established, just to the extent necessary for knowledge (ñāṇa) and for continued mindfulness. And he dwells independent, not clinging to anything in the world. Thus too, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells contemplating dhammas in dhammas with regard to the five aggregates subject to clinging.
The Section on the Aggregates is concluded.
