[55] "'The feeling (vedanā) and the one who feels it are the same' — if, Timbarukkha, [one asserts this] of one existing from the beginning, [holding that] 'pleasure and pain are made by oneself,' thus I do not say. 'The feeling is one thing, the one who feels it is another' — if, Timbarukkha, [one asserts this] of one stricken by feeling, [holding that] 'pleasure and pain are made by another,' thus too I do not say. Without approaching either of these two extremes, Timbarukkha, the Tathāgata teaches the Dhamma by the middle: with ignorance (avijjā) as condition, volitional formations (saṅkhārā); with volitional formations as condition, consciousness (viññāṇa) … Such is the origin of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha). But with the remainderless fading away and cessation of that very ignorance comes the cessation of volitional formations; with the cessation of volitional formations, the cessation of consciousness … Such is the cessation of this whole mass of suffering."
