firewns,

greetings

In the post you refer to, it is also stated :

.. ’14. When we do abhisankhāra (strong types of sankhāra), that lead to the formation of good or bad kamma beeja, or dhammā. Those strong kamma beeja can lead to the arising of sankata (LIVING BEINGS and even inert things)., Capitals mine.

Is it not that living beings have ‘no discernible beginning’? … that is,that there was never a time when they were not? How is it that here it is said that they ‘come to be’, they being sankata arising from strong kamma beeja, these in turn having arisen from abhisankhara?

As to your question/s, what I see is that since everything arises from Abhisankhara (emphasize ARISES), that is has a beginning, all that results therefrom will ultimately prove to be unsatisfactory and cease to be. Hence my query as far as beings are concerned.

I hope I have been clear.
