[2] The Blessed One said this: "And what, bhikkhus, is dependent origination (paṭiccasamuppāda)? With ignorance (avijjā) as condition, bhikkhus, volitional formations (saṅkhārā) [come to be]; with volitional formations as condition, consciousness (viññāṇa); with consciousness as condition, name-and-form (nāmarūpa); with name-and-form as condition, the six sense bases (saḷāyatana); with the six sense bases as condition, contact (phassa); with contact as condition, feeling (vedanā); with feeling as condition, craving (taṇhā); with craving as condition, clinging (upādāna); with clinging as condition, existence (bhava); with existence as condition, birth (jāti); with birth as condition, aging and death (jarāmaraṇa), sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair come to be. Such is the origin of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha). This, bhikkhus, is called dependent origination."
