The video delves into the meaning of sankhara as it relates to sankhata. He brings in a couple of suttas from the Salāyatana vagga of the majjhima nikāya to explain
The light dependent on candle flame, wick and wax is sankhata, by cause of which is sankhara.
The shade dependent on tree, branches and leaves is sankhata, by cause of which is sankhara.
The foundation of a conditioned thing is impermanent, which renders the thing impermanent, much like the second story of a house built on a faulty first story; it is prone to falling apart
There cannot be said to be the second story of a house without the first story
In this way, the first story is the ‘formation’ or ‘sankhara’ of the second story (the ‘formed’, ‘sankhata’)
