[407] Which phenomena (dhammā) are wholesome?
On the occasion when one develops the path (magga) for rebirth in the formless (arūpūpapatti) and — having completely transcended the sphere of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana), with the abandoning of pleasure and … — enters and dwells in the fourth jhāna accompanied by the perception of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana): on that occasion, with ignorance (avijjā) as condition there is a volitional formation (saṅkhāra); with the volitional formation as condition, consciousness (viññāṇa); with consciousness as condition, name (nāma); with name as condition, the sixth sense base (chaṭṭhāyatana); with the sixth sense base as condition, contact (phassa); with contact as condition, feeling (vedanā); with feeling as condition, confidence (pasāda); with confidence as condition, resolution (adhimokkha); with resolution as condition, existence (bhava); with existence as condition, birth (jāti); with birth as condition, aging-and-death (jarāmaraṇa). Thus is the origin (samudaya) of this whole mass of suffering (dukkhakkhandha).
