A hindrance phenomenon is a condition for a non-hindrance phenomenon (no-nīvaraṇo dhammo) by root condition: roots that are hindrances are a condition for the associated aggregates (khandhā) and for the mind-originated forms (cittasamuṭṭhāna-rūpa) by root condition. A hindrance phenomenon is a condition for a hindrance phenomenon and a non-hindrance phenomenon by root condition: roots that are hindrances are a condition for the associated aggregates, for the hindrances, and for the mind-originated forms by root condition. A non-hindrance phenomenon is a condition for a non-hindrance phenomenon by root condition: roots that are not hindrances are a condition for the associated aggregates and for the mind-originated forms by root condition.
