Er beginnt bei den vier Wahrheiten, zerlegt die Persönlichkeit in die fünf Greifhaufen, khandha, greift die vier Elemente, Erde, Wasser, Feuer, Wind auf bis er beim bedingten Entstehen von Erfahrung landet, bei der ein entsprechendes Objekt, Organ und Bewusstsein zusammentreffen.

Renate Seifarth: Die Wurzel aller Dinge
(Seminarhaus Engl) In MN1 führt der Buddha all unsere Reaktionen von Verlangen, Abneigung und Täuschung zurück zu den Erfahrungen, wo alles beginnt, den Erfahrungen des Körpers und über die Sinne.

Von den reinen Erfahrungen aus konstruieren wir durch ausufernde Gedanken und haften an den so geschaffenen Illusionen, mehr oder minder weit weg von der Wirklichkeit.
