[156] "Bhikkhus, I will teach the origin (samudaya) and the passing away (atthaṅgama) of the world. Listen to that. And what, bhikkhus, is the origin of the world? Dependent on the eye and forms, eye-consciousness (cakkhuviññāṇa) arises; the meeting of the three is contact (phassa); with contact as condition, feeling (vedanā); with feeling as condition, craving (taṇhā); with craving as condition, clinging (upādāna); with clinging as condition, existence (bhava); with existence as condition, birth; with birth as condition, aging and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair come to be. This is the origin of the world. … Dependent on the tongue and tastes there arises … Dependent on the mind and mental phenomena (dhammā), mind-consciousness (manoviññāṇa) arises; the meeting of the three is contact; with contact as condition, feeling; with feeling as condition, craving; with craving as condition, clinging; with clinging as condition, existence; with existence as condition, birth; with birth as condition, aging and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair come to be. This indeed, bhikkhus, is the origin of the world."
