    The document outlines the Buddhist concept of dependent arising known as the twelve links or twelvefold chain of causation. It describes how ignorance leads to volitional formations which leads to consciousness, name and form, the six sense spheres, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age and death in a continual cycle of cause and effect. It also shows how actions, afflictive factors and their results generate habitual tendencies, feelings of pleasure, pain and ignorance, and an attachment to the view of a separate self.
