[675] Which phenomena (dhammā) have roots to be abandoned by seeing (dassanena pahātabbahetukā)?
The three fetters (saṃyojana): personality-view (sakkāyadiṭṭhi), doubt (vicikicchā), and adherence to rules and rituals (sīlabbataparāmāsa).
Therein, what is personality-view? … This is called personality-view.
Therein, what is doubt? … This is called doubt.
Therein, what is adherence to rules and rituals? … This is called adherence to rules and rituals.
These three fetters, and the defilements (kilesa) standing together with them (tadekaṭṭha); the aggregate of feeling (vedanākkhandha) associated therewith (taṃsampayutta) … the aggregate of consciousness (viññāṇakkhandha); and the bodily action (kāyakamma), verbal action (vacīkamma), and mental action (manokamma) originated thereby (taṃsamuṭṭhāna) — these phenomena have roots to be abandoned by seeing.
The three fetters — personality-view, doubt, and adherence to rules and rituals — these phenomena are to be abandoned by seeing. The greed (lobha), hatred (dosa), and delusion (moha) standing together with them — these phenomena are roots to be abandoned by seeing. And the defilements standing together with them; the aggregate of feeling associated therewith … the aggregate of consciousness; and the bodily action, verbal action, and mental action originated thereby — these phenomena have roots to be abandoned by seeing.
Which phenomena have roots to be abandoned by development (bhāvanāya pahātabbahetukā)?
The remaining greed, hatred, and delusion — these phenomena are roots to be abandoned by development. And the defilements standing together with them; the aggregate of feeling associated therewith … the aggregate of consciousness; and the bodily action, verbal action, and mental action originated thereby — these phenomena have roots to be abandoned by development.
Which phenomena have neither roots to be abandoned by seeing nor roots to be abandoned by development (nevadassanena nabhāvanāya pahātabbahetukā)?
Setting aside those phenomena, the remaining wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate (abyākata) phenomena — of the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), of the form sphere (rūpāvacara), of the formless sphere (arūpāvacara), or unincluded (apariyāpanna): the aggregate of feeling, the aggregate of perception (saññākkhandha), the aggregate of volitional formations (saṅkhārakkhandha), the aggregate of consciousness; and all form (rūpa), and the unconditioned element (asaṅkhatā dhātu) — these phenomena have neither roots to be abandoned by seeing nor roots to be abandoned by development.
