In a knowledgeable person, immersed in clear knowing, right view arises...
In one of right view, right resolve arises...
In one of right resolve, right speech...
In one of right speech, right action...
In one of right action, right livelihood...
In one of right livelihood, right effort...
In one of right effort, right mindfulness...
In one of right mindfulness, right concentration arises...
& this happens vice-versa too...

Interdependent arising, conditional nexus, causal nexus....
As long as we remain ignorant, clinging, and hateful,
we will continue to create karma,
& so continue to be reborn into this world full of suffering and pain...

Using the metaphor of a wheel of life,
one thing inevitably leads to another...

that is the cycle of life...
