M ii.32; S ii.28 etc. The term usually occurs applied to dukkha in a famous formula which expresses the
Buddhist doctrine of evolution, the respective stages of which are conditioned by a preceding cause &
constitute themselves the cause of resulting effect, as working out the next state of the evolving (shall we
say) "individual" or "being," in short the bearer of evolution. The respective links in this chain which to
study & learn is the first condition for a "Buddhist" to an understanding of life, and the cause of life, and
which to know forward and backward (anuloma -- pa&iloma' manas' âk!si Vin i.1) is indispensable for the
student, are as follows. The root of all, primary cause of all existence, is avijj! ignorance; this produces
