[1633] [Paravādin:] "Should it not be said: 'The attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling (saññāvedayitanirodha-samāpatti) is conducive to [rebirth among] non-percipient beings (asaññasattūpikā)'?" [Sakavādin:] "Yes." [Paravādin:] "Is it not the case that here too [one is] non-percipient (asaññī), and there too [one is] non-percipient?" [Sakavādin:] "Yes." [Paravādin:] "If here too [one is] non-percipient and there too [one is] non-percipient, then indeed, good sir, it must be said: 'The attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling is conducive to [rebirth among] non-percipient beings.'" The Discussion on [the Attainment as] Conducive to Non-percipient Beings (Asaññasattūpikākathā) [is concluded]. ____________ The Discussion on the Accumulation of Kamma (Kammūpacayakathā)
