Nidadesahaṅadhaṁvāra

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (2) · Vol. 39 · Section 64

[64] "The mind (citta) that arises — does that mind not cease?" "Yes." "Or rather, the mind that does not cease — does that mind arise?" "Past and future mind does not cease, but it is not the case that that mind arises; at the moment of arising (uppādakkhaṇa), mind both does not cease and arises." "The mind that does not arise — does that mind cease?" "Past and future mind does not arise, but it is not the case that that mind ceases; at the moment of dissolution (bhaṅgakkhaṇa), mind both does not arise and ceases." "Or rather, the mind that ceases — does that mind not arise?" "Yes."
