[445] Should it not be said that form (rūpa) both exists thus and does not exist thus (hevatthi heva natthi); that feeling (vedanā) … that perception (saññā) … that volitional formations (saṅkhārā) … that consciousness (viññāṇa) both exists thus and does not exist thus?
Yes.
Does form exist thus as feeling? … Does form exist thus as perception? … Does form exist thus as volitional formations? … Does form exist thus as consciousness? Do feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness exist thus as form? Does consciousness exist thus as feeling? … Does consciousness exist thus as volitional formations?
It should not be said thus. …
Well then, form both exists thus and does not exist thus; feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness both exist thus and do not exist thus.

Apprehension (upalabbho), falling away (parihānaṃ), the living of the holy life (brahmacariyavāso),
piecemeal (odhiso), full understanding (pariññā), the abandoning of sensual lust (kāmarāgappahānaṃ),
the doctrine that all exists (sabbatthivādo), the sense base (āyatana),
the portion with respect to the past and the future, all dhammas
are establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna); and "it both exists thus and does not exist thus."
