Cetanāsutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Nidānavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 16 · Section 148

[148] "Bhikkhus, when one does not intend (ceteti), does not plan (pakappeti), and does not have a latent tendency (anuseti) toward anything, there is no basis (ārammaṇa) for the maintenance of consciousness (viññāṇa). When there is no basis, there is no establishing of consciousness. When that consciousness is unestablished and has not come to growth, there is no descent (avakkanti) of name-and-form (nāmarūpa). With the cessation (nirodha) of name-and-form comes the cessation of the six sense bases (saḷāyatana) … Such is the cessation of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha)." The ninth.
