Here you see how the entire world-form is derived from the inner realm, from the unknowing or ignorance about the cause of things (ávidyâ). Out of this arise the forms (rûpa). Out of these forms arises consciousness that perceives the world. Then in this world sensation arises (kâmaloka) and out of that comes thirst. “Kam” means thirst; “kâmaloka” is what arises out of thirst.

There you have the entire nidâna chain, which is unbroken wherever one link tugs on the next, its successor pulling another along after that, and so on.

“But the complete disappearance and coming to an end of not knowing brings about the abolition of impression; the abolition of impression brings about the abolition of name and form; the abolition of name and form brings about the abolition of the six senses; the abolition of the six senses brings about the abolition of touch; the abolition of touch brings about the abolition of sensation; the abolition of sensation brings about the abolition of thirst; the abolition of thirst brings about the abolition of desire; the abolition of desire brings about the abolition of existence; the abolition of existence brings about the abolition of birth; the abolition of birth brings about the abolition of old age and death, pain, sorrow, misfortune, disappointment and despair. This is the way in which the abolition of the whole sum of suffering is brought about.”

Thus spake the Blessed One. Deeply touched in their hearts the Bhikhus rejoiced over the sermon of the Blessed One.352
