Nidana +

The 12 causes of existence, or a chain of causation, “a concatenation of cause and effect in the whole range of existence through 12 links”. This is the fundamental dogma of Buddhist thought, “the understanding of which solves the riddle of life, revealing the insanity of existence and preparing the mind for Nirvâna”. (Eitel’s ''Sans. Chin. Dict''.) The 12 links stand thus in their enumeration. (1) Jail, or birth, according to one of the four modes of entering the stream of life and reincarnation — or ''Chatur Yoni (q.v.''), each mode placing the being born in one of the six ''Gâti ''(q.v.). (2) ''Jarârnarana'', or decrepitude and death, following the maturity of the ''Skandhas ''(q.v.). (3) ''Bhava, ''the Karmic agent which leads every new sentient being to be born in this or another mode of existence in the ''Trailokya ''and Gâti. (4) ''Upâdâna'', the creative cause of ''Bhava ''which thus becomes the cause of ''Jati ''which is the effect; and this creative cause is the ''clinging to life. ''( 5) Trishnâ, love, whether pure or impure. (6) ''Vêdâna'', or sensation; perception by the senses, it is the 5th Skandha. (7) Sparsa, the sense of touch. (8) ''Chadâyatana'', the organs of sensation. (9) ''Nâmarûpa'', personality, i.e., a form with a name to it, the symbol of the unreality of material phenomenal appearances. (10) ''Vijnâna'', the perfect knowledge of every perceptible thing and of all objects in their concatenation and unity. (11) ''Samskâra'', action on the plane of illusion. (12) ''Avidyâ'', lack of true perception, or ignorance.
