Twelve Factors of Rebirth

Twelve factors of rebirth depend upon each other. They are both cause and effect, making beings to revolve in the cycle of birth i.e. Samsara. These twelve factors are as follows:

1. Ignorance (Avijja)

2. Willful doings (Sankhara)

3. Consciousness (Vinnana)

4. Mind and Matter (Nama-Rupa)

5. Sixfold sense bases (Salayatana)

6. Contact (Phassa)

7. Feeling (Vedana)

8. Craving (Tahna)

9. Attachment (Upadana)
 

10. Becoming (Bhava)

11. Birth (Jati)

12. Aging, Death (Jara, Maranam) ___together with sorrow (soka), lamentation (parideva), pain (dukha), grief and despair (domanassupayasa).

Unless practising Vipasana meditation, there will be no way to terminates the link of these factors of rebirth.
