Brief Explanation In Sahajåta types -- which are Sahajåta Great, Sahajåta Medium and Sahajåta Small -- the cause and effect are the dhamma which arise simultaneously. In the case of dhamma groups which arise s imultaneously, they support each other reciprocally; just like the idiom, the island exist dependent upon land, the land exist dependent upon island. In Órammaˆa types:- the cause, Paccayadhamma are Citta-cetasika & RËpa Paramattha which ar ise in the 3 periods, timeless Nibbåna and Paññatti. They are the Órammaˆa cause Paccayadhamma which support as the object to be known. Citta-cetasika Nåma group which know these objects are the present Paccayuppannadhamma. These are the Órammaˆa and Órammaˆika; i.e. objects to be k nown and the Nåma dhamma group (Órammaˆika) which knows.

6 In Anantara types:- the cause Paccayadhamma is the preceding mind moment Nåma dhamma gro up. The effect Paccayuppannadhamma is the subsequent mind moment Nåma dhamma group. The re is no dhamma (i.e. no mental states) existing in between the cause mind moment and the effect m ind moment. In Vatthu types:- the cause Paccayadhamma are the 6 Vatthu RËpa which reach their static stage ( Èhiti). The effect Paccayuppannadhamma are the appropriate Nåma dhamma group. Both the caus e and effect are of the present only. In Pacchåjåta types:- the causes are the subsequent mind moment Nåma dhamma group. The effe ct are the RËpa dhamma group which reach the static stage and arose simultaneously with the prece ding Citta. In Nånåkkhaˆikakamma types:- the arising moments of cause and effect are not the same. The ca use Paccayadhamma and the effect Paccayuppannadhamma can be separated: (1) by one mind moment = preceding mind moment and subsequent mind moment (= Magga and Phala), (2) by many mind moments, (3) by a life (bhava), (4) by many lives, (5) by many Kappa (aeons). In RËpa Óhåra types:- both cause and effect are RËpa dhamma groups only. This is the section o n Ojå supporting Óhåraja RËpa. This is the section on Ojå -- which reaches the static stage -- produ cing Oja hamaka RËpa. In RËpaj vitindriya types:- J vita supports Kammaja RËpa of the same Kalåpa. This is the Anupål aka Satti. Both the cause and effect are RËpa dhamma group only. Both cause and effect arise simu ltaneously. PakatËpanissaya is the originally powerful dependence (rsd&m) cause Paccayadhamma. On the sid e of cause, it includes Citta-cetasika, RËpa dhamma and some concept (Paññatti) which can be Pacc aya (cause). On the side of effect, only Citta-cetasika are included. The cause Paramattha dhamma and the effect Paramattha dhamma can be separated closely or far apart in mind moments. Points To Know In Advance In this section, the Pa isandhi 5 Khandhå of Tihetuka human beings is mainly mentioned first. Th is is because it is intended that the present Pa isandhi would be shown first. Remember the causal r elationships in Pa icca Samuppåda 5th method again. Having grouped into 5 Khandhå, the causal re lationships will be shown according to the Nåma Kamma håna tables by means of 5 Khandhå meth od. However, the Nåmakkhandhå will be shown in group. There are 7 types of RËpa Paccayuppannadhamma which are: (1) Cittaja RËpa, (2) Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa, (3) Båhira RËpa, (4) Óhåraja RËpa, (5) Utuja RËpa, (6) Asaññå Kammaja RËpa, (7) Pavatti Kammaja RËpa.

7 Among these, there are 4 types of Cittaja RËpa which are: (1) Kusala Cittaja RËpa, (2) Akusala Cittaja RËpa, (3) Vipåka Cittaja RËpa, (4) Kiriyå Cittaja RËpa. These RËpa dhamma are apparent in the respective mind moment. As for Pa isandhi Kammaja R Ëpa, there are 3 types:- Ahetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa, Dvihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa a nd Tihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa, out of which the arising of KåmaTihetuka Pa isandhi Kam maja RËpa will be explained first. The Arising Of Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa The Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa Paccayuppannadhamma -- except for Hadaya Vatth u -- arise and are in the static because of being supported simultaneously and appropriately by the fo llowing 25 types of causes Paccayadhamma: (1) Nåma Sahajåta types: 12 (2) RËpa Sahajåta types: 5 (3) Pacchåjåta types: 4 (4) RËpaj vitindriya types: 3 (5) Nånåkkhaˆikakamma: 1 The Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa Paccayuppannadhamma -- except for Hadaya Vatth u -- arise and are in the static because of being supported simultaneously and appropriately by the fo llowing 25 types of causes Paccayadhamma: (1)(A) the 4 types Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi and 33 Cetasika -- excluding Virati and Appamaññå - - Nåmakkhandhå Paccayadhamma (which support individually and in group -- tpdwftaygif;) are Sa hajåta, Nissaya, Vipåka, Vippayutta, Atthi and Avigata Satti (= 6); (B)(i) the 3 Hetu Paccayadhamma: Alobha, Adosa and Amoha are Hetu Satti; (ii) the Cetanå Paccayadhamma is SahajåtaKamma Satti; (iii) the Phassa, Cetanå and Viññåˆa Paccayadhamma are Óhåra Satti; (iv) the 8 Nåma Indriya Paccayadhamma are Indriya Satti; (v) if it is Somanassasahagata Tihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa, then the 5 Jhåna factors Paccayadhamma; and if it is Upekkhåsahagata Tihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa, then th e 4 Jhåna factors Paccayadhamma are Jhåna Satti; (vi) Excluding Virati, the 5 Magga factors Paccayadhamma are Magga Satti (=6)(6+6=12) (2) The 4 Great Elements Paccayadhamma of the same Kalåpa (which support individually and in group -- tpdwftaygif;) are Sahajåta, Aññamañña, Nissaya, Atthi and Avigata Satti accordingly. (=5) (3) The 1st Bhava ga Nåmakkhandhå Paccayadhamma which are Pacchåjåta are Pacchåjåta, Vip payutta, Atthi and Avigata Satti. (=4) (4) The RËpaj vitindriya Paccayadhamma of the same Kalåpa is RËpaj vitindriya, RËpaj vitindriy atthi and RËpaj vitindriyaavigata Satti.

(=1) (The 4 types are the 4 Ñåˆasampayutta Mahå) {Notes: Selecting among the 4 types of Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi which are:- (1) Somanassasahagata ñåˆasampayutta asa khårika Pa isandhi, (2) Somanassasahagata ñåˆasampayutta sasa khårika Pa isandhi, (3) Upekkhåsahagata ñåˆasampayutta asa khårika Pa isandhi,

8 (4) Upekkhåsahagata ñåˆasampayutta sasa khårika Pa isandhi, discern only the Pa isandhi which arose in your NåmarËpa process in this life. If it is Somanassasah agata ñåˆasampayutta Pa isandhi, there are 34 Nåma dhamma; if it is Upekkhåsahagata ñåˆasampay utta Pa isandhi, there are 33 Nåma dhamma respectively. Similarly in Nånåkkhaˆikakamma, selecti ng among the 4 types of Kåmatihetuka Kusala Kamma, discern only the Kamma which produces yo ur Pa isandhi. Among the cause Paccayadhamma shown above, excluding Pacchåjåta cause Paccaya and Nånåk khaˆikakamma cause Paccaya, the remaining causes Paccayadhamma arise simultaneously with the effect Paccayuppannadhamma. Therefore they are included in the Nåma Sahajåta and RËpa Sahajåt a types. As J vita and the Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa are the RËpa dhamma which arise simultaneou sly, they are also part of RËpaj vitindriya types. Discern to see by insight that J vita support Kamm aja RËpa of the same Kalåpa. It is not very difficult for those who have already discern by insight t he causal relationships according to the Pa icca Samuppåda 5th method.} The Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa Hadaya Vatthu Paccayuppannadhamma arise and a re in the static because of being supported simultaneously by the following 25 types of causes Pacca yadhamma: (1) Nåma Sahajåta types: 13 (2) RËpa Sahajåta types: 4 (3) Pacchåjåta types: 4 (4) RËpaj vitindriya types: 3 (5) Nånåkkhaˆikakamma: 1 The Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa Hadaya Vatthu Paccayuppannadhamma arise and a re in the static because of being supported simultaneously by the following 25 types of causes Pacca yadhamma: (1)(A) the 4 types Kåmatihetuka Pa isandhi and 33 Cetasika -- excluding Virati and Appamaññå - - Nåmakkhandhå Paccayadhamma (which support individually and in group -- tpdwftaygif;) are Sa hajåta, Aññamañña, Nissaya, Vipåka, Vippayutta, Atthi and Avigata Satti (= 7); (B)(i) the 3 Hetu Paccayadhamma: Alobha, Adosa and Amoha are Hetu Satti; (ii) the Cetanå Paccayadhamma is SahajåtaKamma Satti; (iii) the Phassa, Cetanå and Viññåˆa Paccayadhamma are Óhåra Satti; (iv) the 8 Nåma Indriya Paccayadhamma are Indriya Satti; (v) if it is Somanassasahagata Tihetuka Pa isandhi Kammaja RËpa Hadaya Vatthu, then the 5 Jhåna factors Paccayadhamma; and if it is Upekkhåsahagata Tihetuka Kammaja RËpa Ha daya Vatthu, then the 4 Jhåna factors Paccayadhamma are Jhåna Satti; (vi) Excluding Virati, the 5 Magga factors Paccayadhamma are Magga Satti (=6)(7+6=13) (2) The 4 Great Elements Paccayadhamma of the same Kalåpa (which support individually and in group -- tpdwftaygif;) are Sahajåta, Nissaya, Atthi and Avigata Satti.

The Kammaja RËpa, Utuja RËpa and Óhåraja RËpa -- which arose simultaneously with the 17th mind, c ounting backwards from Cuti -- reach the perishing stage, Bha ga. It is debatable among Venerabl e teachers as to whether Cuti Citta can produce Cittaja RËpa or not. However, Citta (mind) which a re close / near (in moment) to Cuti Citta can produce Cittaja RËpa. These Cittaja RËpa reach the sta tic stage (Èhiti) at the moment of Cuti. These Cittas can be: (1) Javana, if Cuti occur subsequent to Javana or (2) Tadårammaˆa, if Cuti occur subsequent to Tadårammaˆa or (3) Bhava ga, if Cuti occur subsequent to Bhava ga. Therefore, for these Citta understand concerning the Cittaja RËpa as already mentioned, is mentio ning and will be mentioned. Understand similarly for Kammaja RËpa, Utuja RËpa and Óhåraja RËp a.
