The Ten PowersDasabalasutta
At Sāvatthī.Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
“Mendicants, a Realized One has ten powers and four kinds of self-assurance. With these he claims the bull’s place, roars his lion’s roar in the assemblies, and turns the divine wheel.“Dasabalasamannāgato, bhikkhave, tathāgato catūhi ca vesārajjehi samannāgato āsabhaṁ ṭhānaṁ paṭijānāti, parisāsu sīhanādaṁ nadati, brahmacakkaṁ pavatteti—
Such is form, such is the origin of form, such is the disappearance of form.iti rūpaṁ iti rūpassa samudayo iti rūpassa atthaṅgamo, Such is feeling, such is the origin of feeling, such is the disappearance of feeling.iti vedanā iti vedanāya samudayo iti vedanāya atthaṅgamo, Such is perception, such is the origin of perception, such is the disappearance of perception.iti saññā iti saññāya samudayo iti saññāya atthaṅgamo, Such are choices, such is the origin of choices, such is the disappearance of choices.iti saṅkhārā iti saṅkhārānaṁ samudayo iti saṅkhārānaṁ atthaṅgamo, Such is consciousness, such is the origin of consciousness, such is the disappearance of consciousness.iti viññāṇaṁ iti viññāṇassa samudayo iti viññāṇassa atthaṅgamo.
So, when this exists, this comes to be; due to the arising of this, this arises.Iti imasmiṁ sati idaṁ hoti, imassuppādā idaṁ uppajjati. When this doesn’t exist, this doesn’t come to be; due to the cessation of this, this ceases. That is:Imasmiṁ asati idaṁ na hoti, imassa nirodhā idaṁ nirujjhati.
Ignorance is a requirement for choices.Yadidaṁ avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā;
Choices are a requirement for consciousness. …saṅkhārapaccayā viññāṇaṁ …pe… That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti. When ignorance fades away and ceases no residue left behind, choices cease.Avijjāya tveva asesavirāganirodhā saṅkhāranirodho; When choices cease, consciousness ceases. …saṅkhāranirodhā viññāṇanirodho …pe… That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.”evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti.
