[450] "Good, bhikkhus. Thus, bhikkhus, you speak in this way, and I too speak in this way: When this does not exist, this does not come to be; with the cessation of this, this ceases. That is: with the cessation of ignorance (avijjā), there is the cessation of volitional formations (saṅkhārā); with the cessation of volitional formations, the cessation of consciousness (viññāṇa); with the cessation of consciousness, the cessation of name-and-form (nāmarūpa); with the cessation of name-and-form, the cessation of the six sense bases (saḷāyatana); with the cessation of the six sense bases, the cessation of contact (phassa); with the cessation of contact, the cessation of feeling (vedanā); with the cessation of feeling, the cessation of craving (taṇhā); with the cessation of craving, the cessation of clinging (upādāna); with the cessation of clinging, the cessation of existence (bhava); with the cessation of existence, the cessation of birth (jāti); with the cessation of birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair cease. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of suffering (dukkha)."
