Natural decisive-support: In dependence on faith (saddhā) accompanied by rapture and accompanied by pleasure, one gives a gift (dāna) with a mind (citta) accompanied by equanimity … gives rise to superknowledge (abhiññā) … grasps a view (diṭṭhi). In dependence on virtue (sīla) accompanied by rapture and accompanied by pleasure … on aspiration (patthanā), one gives a gift with a mind accompanied by equanimity … massacres a market town. Faith accompanied by rapture and accompanied by pleasure … aspiration are a condition for faith accompanied by equanimity, for aspiration, by decisive-support condition.
