SN 1:57 · Engendered (3) (Jana Sutta)
“What engenders a person?
What does one have that runs around?
What rushes toward the wandering-on?
What does one have
as one’s support?”
The Buddha:
“Craving engenders a person.
One’s mind is what runs around.
A being rushes toward the wandering-on.
Action is one’s support.”
