[125] "But might there be, friends, …?" … "There might, friends," the Venerable Sāriputta said. "When, friends, a noble disciple understands name-and-form (nāmarūpa), understands the origin (samudaya) of name-and-form, understands the cessation (nirodha) of name-and-form, and understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of name-and-form — to that extent too, friends, a noble disciple is one of right view, whose view is straight, who is endowed with unwavering confidence in the Dhamma, and who has come to this true Dhamma."
"But what, friends, is name-and-form, what is the origin of name-and-form, what is the cessation of name-and-form, what is the way of practice leading to the cessation of name-and-form?"
"Feeling (vedanā), perception (saññā), volition (cetanā), contact (phassa), and attention (manasikāra) — this is called name. The four great elements (mahābhūta) and the form (rūpa) derived from the four great elements — this is called form. Thus this name and this form — this, friends, is called name-and-form. With the origin of consciousness (viññāṇa) there is the origin of name-and-form; with the cessation of consciousness there is the cessation of name-and-form. This very Noble Eightfold Path (magga) is the way of practice leading to the cessation of name-and-form, namely: right view … right concentration (samādhi).
"When, friends, a noble disciple thus understands name-and-form, thus understands the origin of name-and-form, thus understands the cessation of name-and-form, and thus understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of name-and-form, he, having entirely abandoned the underlying tendency to lust … — to that extent too, friends, a noble disciple is one of right view, whose view is straight, who is endowed with unwavering confidence in the Dhamma, and who has come to this true Dhamma."
