[1630] Sakavādin: Does the attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling (saññāvedayitanirodha-samāpatti) lead to (rebirth among) the non-percipient beings (asaññasatta)?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: Is there, in one who has attained the cessation of perception and feeling, non-greed (alobha), a wholesome root (kusalamūla); non-hatred (adosa), a wholesome root; non-delusion (amoha), a wholesome root; faith (saddhā), energy (viriya), mindfulness (sati), concentration (samādhi), wisdom (paññā)?
Paravādin: It should not be said thus. …
Sakavādin: Is there not, in one who has attained the cessation of perception and feeling, non-greed, a wholesome root; non-hatred, a wholesome root; … wisdom?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: If there is not, in one who has attained the cessation of perception and feeling, non-greed, a wholesome root; non-hatred, a wholesome root; non-delusion, a wholesome root; faith, energy, mindfulness, concentration, wisdom, then surely it should not be said that the attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling leads to (rebirth among) the non-percipient beings.
