The Mahānidāna Sūtra (Sūtra on Great Conditions and Skillful Means), the Ninth, from the Dīrgha Āgama

（二）Original text: 阿难。当知因爱有求。因求有利。因利有用。因用有欲。因欲有着。因著有嫉。因嫉有守。因守有护。阿难。由有护故。有刀杖诤讼。作无数恶。我所说者。义在于此。阿难。此为何义。若使一切众生。无有护者。当有刀杖诤讼。起无数恶不。答曰。无也。是故。阿难。以此因缘。知刀杖诤讼。由护而起。缘护有刀杖诤讼。阿难。我所说者。义在于此。 

Explanation: The Buddha said: Ānanda, you should know that because of craving there is seeking; because of seeking there is benefit; because of benefit there is use; because of use there is desire; because of desire there is attachment; because of attachment there is jealousy; because of jealousy there is keeping; because of keeping there is guarding. Ānanda, because of the wish to guard, there arise weapons and staffs, disputes and conflicts, and countless evil deeds are committed. What I have spoken means precisely this. Ānanda, what does this mean? If all sentient beings no longer had the wish to guard, would there still be weapons and staffs, disputes and conflicts, and the arising of countless evil deeds? Ānanda replied: No, there would not. Therefore, Ānanda, by this cause and condition, know that weapons and staffs, disputes and conflicts arise from guarding; conditioned on guarding there are weapons and staffs, disputes and conflicts. Ānanda, what I have spoken means precisely this. 

原文：又告阿难。因守有护。此为何义。若使一切众生无有守者。宁有护不。答曰。无也。 阿难。我以此缘。知护由守。因守有护。我所说者。义在于此。阿难。因嫉有守。此为何义。若使一切众生无有嫉者。宁有守不。 答曰。无也。阿难。我以此缘。知守由嫉。因嫉有守。我所说者。义在于此。 

Explanation: The Buddha further told Ānanda: Because one wishes to keep wealth, sensual pleasures, and so forth, there is the act of guarding. What does this mean? If sentient beings no longer had the mind of keeping, could there still be the act of guarding? Ānanda replied: No, there could not. The Buddha said: Ānanda, by this cause and condition, I know that the act of guarding arises from the mind of keeping; because of keeping there is guarding. What I have spoken means precisely this. Ānanda, because of jealousy there is the mind of keeping. What does this mean? If all sentient beings no longer had jealousy, could there still be the mind of keeping? Ānanda replied: No, there could not. The Buddha said: Ānanda, by this cause and condition, I know that the mind of keeping is conditioned on jealousy; because of jealousy there is keeping. What I have spoken means precisely this.
