SN1_57: Tatiyajanasutta

Tatiyajanasutta - translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi

“What is it that produces a person?
What does he have that runs around?
What enters upon saṁsara?
What determines his destiny?”

“Craving is what produces a person;
His mind is what runs around;
A being enters upon saṁsara;
Kamma determines his destiny.”
