“If consciousness were not to descend into the mother's womb, would name-and-form take shape in the womb?”

The wide-ranging teaching of the four noble truths can come under satipaṭṭhāna investigation if we look for its observables in those texts that are more nuts-and-bolts in style, although the fourth noble truth, when equated with the path itself, is more difficult to accommodate..
