[408] Which phenomena (dhammā) are wholesome? On the occasion when one develops supramundane jhāna (lokuttaraṃ jhānaṃ) — leading out (niyyānika), conducing to dismantling (apacayagāmī) — for the abandoning of views (diṭṭhigata), for the attainment of the first plane (bhūmi), and, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, … enters upon and dwells in the first jhāna, of painful progress and sluggish direct knowledge (dukkhāpaṭipadaṃ dandhābhiññaṃ) — 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, mentality (nāma); with mentality 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 of these phenomena.
