[111] Seeing dissolution, what five characteristics does one see? "With the cessation of ignorance (avijjā) there is the cessation of consciousness": thus, in the sense of the cessation of the condition, one sees the dissolution of the consciousness aggregate. "With the cessation of craving (taṇhā) there is the cessation of consciousness": thus, in the sense of the cessation of the condition, one sees the dissolution of the consciousness aggregate. "With the cessation of kamma there is the cessation of consciousness": thus, in the sense of the cessation of the condition, one sees the dissolution of the consciousness aggregate. "With the cessation of name-and-form (nāmarūpa) there is the cessation of consciousness": thus, in the sense of the cessation of the condition, one sees the dissolution of the consciousness aggregate. Seeing also the characteristic of change, one sees the dissolution of the consciousness aggregate. Seeing the dissolution of the consciousness aggregate, one sees these five characteristics. Seeing rise and fall, one sees these ten characteristics. Seeing the rise of the five aggregates, one sees these twenty-five characteristics; seeing their dissolution, one sees these twenty-five characteristics; seeing their rise and fall, one sees these fifty characteristics. That is knowledge (ñāṇa) in the sense of its being known, and wisdom (paññā) in the sense of understanding. Therefore it is said: wisdom in the contemplation of the change of presently arisen dhammas is the knowledge of contemplation of rise and fall (udayabbayānupassanā). The form aggregate has nutriment (āhāra) as its origin; the remaining aggregates — feeling (vedanā), perception, volitional formations — have contact (phassa) as their origin; the consciousness aggregate has name-and-form as its origin.
