Abhidhammapiṭaka · Kathāvatthu · Vol. 37 · Section 1448

[1448] [Paravādin:] Is it not to be said that the latent tendencies (anusaya) are dissociated (vippayutta) from mind (citta)? [Sakavādin:] Yes. [Paravādin:] While a mind that is wholesome (kusala) or indeterminate (abyākata) is occurring, is an ordinary person (puthujjana) to be said to be "one with latent tendencies" (sānusaya)? [Sakavādin:] Yes. [Paravādin:] Are the latent tendencies associated (sampayutta) with that mind? [Sakavādin:] It should not be said thus. [Paravādin:] Then indeed the latent tendencies are dissociated from mind. [Sakavādin:] While a mind that is wholesome or indeterminate is occurring, is an ordinary person to be said to be "one with lust" (sarāga)? [Paravādin:] Yes. [Sakavādin:] Is lust (rāga) associated with that mind? [Paravādin:] It should not be said thus. [Sakavādin:] Then indeed lust is dissociated from mind. Here end the three Discussions on Latent Tendencies (Anusayakathā). ______________________ Discussion on Knowledge (Ñāṇakathā)
