17.     Upanna Tika:

        (iii)  (1043).    What are the dhamma which will definitely arise?
                                  
        There are dhamma which are resultants of meritorious dhamma which do not yet bear fruit, pertaining to the Sensuous Sphere, the Fine meterial Sphere, the Non-material Sphere and the Supramundane, which are the aggregate of Sensation, the aggregate of Perception, the aggregate of Volitional Activities and the aggregate of Consciousness and there is also Corporeality that will arise as a result of deeds done previously.
        ~These are the dhamma which which will definitely arise.

       
        (iii)  (1430).    What are the dhamma which are in the process of arising?
       
        There are:  (36) resultants of the four spheres;  and also Corporeality which is the result of deeds done previously.
        ~These are the dhamma which are sometimes in the process of arising, and which will sometimes definitely arise.  They should not be taken as the dhamma that have not yet arisen.

        There are:  (21) meritorious thoughts of the four spheres;  (12) demeritorious thoughts;  (20 types of) non-causative action, which are neither meritorious nor demeritorious of the three spheres;  and also Corporeality which is not the result of deeds done previously.
        ~These are the dhamma which are sometimes in the process of arising.

    Nibbana should not be taken as the dhamma which is in the process of arising, or which has not yet arisen, or which will definitely arise.
