[643] The Venerable Mahākaccāna said this: "Friends, as to that summary (uddesa) which the Blessed One recited to us in brief, and, without analyzing the meaning in detail, rose from his seat and entered his dwelling — namely: 'Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu should examine in such a way that, as he examines, his consciousness (viññāṇa) is neither distracted nor scattered externally, nor fixed internally, and so that, through not clinging, he would not be agitated. Bhikkhus, when consciousness is neither distracted nor scattered externally, when it is not fixed internally, then for one who, through not clinging, is not agitated, there is no coming-to-be in the future of the origin of the suffering (dukkha) of birth, aging, and death' — of this summary recited in brief by the Blessed One, whose meaning was not analyzed in detail, I understand the detailed meaning thus."
