[1631] S.: Is the attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling (saññāvedayitanirodha-samāpatti) conducive to [rebirth among] non-percipient beings (asaññasattā)?
P.: Yes.
S.: Is there contact (phassa), feeling (vedanā), perception, volition (cetanā), mind (citta) for one who has entered the cessation of perception and feeling?
P.: It should not be said thus. …
S.: Is there no contact, feeling, perception, volition, mind for one who has entered the cessation of perception and feeling?
P.: Yes.
S.: Is there development of the path (magga-bhāvanā) for one without contact … development of the path for one without mind?
P.: It should not be said thus. …
S.: Is there not development of the path for one with contact … development of the path for one with mind?
P.: Yes.
S.: If there is development of the path for one with contact … development of the path for one with mind, then surely you should not say that the attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling is conducive to [rebirth among] non-percipient beings.
