VaggaAtītāraṁmaṇakathā

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Kathāvatthu · Vol. 37 · Section 1344

[1344] [Sakavādin:] Is a mind (citta) that has a past object (atītārammaṇa) without an object (anārammaṇa)? [Paravādin:] Yes. [Sakavādin:] But is there not adverting (āvajjana) … aspiration (paṇidhi) with reference to the past? [Paravādin:] Yes. [Sakavādin:] If there is adverting … aspiration with reference to the past, then indeed it should not be said that "a mind that has a past object is without an object." The Discussion of the Past as Object (Atītārammaṇakathā) is concluded. ________________ The Discussion of the Future as Object (Anāgatārammaṇakathā)
