The Buddha points out that:
with ignorance
as condition the volitional formations arise
Dependent on volitional formations
consciousness arises.
Dependent on consciousness mentality-materiality
arises.
Dependent on mentality-materiality the six
sense faculties arise.
Dependent on the six sense faculties contact
arises.
Dependent on contact feeling arises.
Dependent on feeling craving arises.
Dependent on craving clinging arises.
Dependent on clinging existence arises.
Dependent on existence birth arises.
Dependent on birth, ageing, death, sorrow,
lamentation, pain, grief and despair arise.
Such, the Buddha says, is the arising of the whole mass of suffering.
