Nidadesahaṅadhaṁvāra

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (2) · Vol. 39 · Section 67

[67] That mind (citta) which is arisen — did that mind arise? No. Or, alternatively, that mind which arose — is that mind arisen? No. That mind which is arisen — will that mind arise? No. Or, alternatively, that mind which will arise — is that mind arisen? No. That mind which is not arisen — did that mind arise? A past mind is not arisen, yet it is not the case that that mind did not arise; a future mind is both not arisen and did not arise. Or, alternatively, that mind which did not arise — is that mind not arisen? A present mind did not arise, yet it is not the case that that mind is not arisen; a future mind both did not arise and is not arisen. That mind which is not arisen — will that mind not arise? A future mind is not arisen, yet it is not the case that that mind will not arise; a past mind is both not arisen and will not arise. Or, alternatively, that mind which will not arise — is that mind not arisen? A present mind will not arise, yet it is not the case that that mind is not arisen; a past mind both will not arise and is not arisen.
