Therein, which is the volitional formation (saṅkhāra) with wholesome roots as condition (paccaya)? That which is volition (cetanā), intending, the state of intending — this is called the volitional formation with wholesome roots as condition. … Therefore it is said: "Thus is the origin (samudaya) of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha)."
