[1667] [Opponent (Paravādī):] Should it not be said that form (rūpa) has a root (sahetuka)? [Theravādin (Sakavādī):] Yes. [Opponent:] But does form not have a condition (sappaccaya)? [Theravādin:] Yes. [Opponent:] If form has a condition, then indeed, sir, for that very reason you should say that form has a root. The Discussion "Form Has a Root" (Rūpaṃ Sahetukan'ti Kathā). ________________________ The Discussion "Form Is Wholesome or Unwholesome" (Rūpaṃ Kusalākusalan'ti Kathā)
