Stopping the Wheel of Bhavchakra.

                        '' We are what we think'' 

                       True Dharma good for all...

Bhavchakra is a chain of various links (nidanas, “causes”).. 

The first two stages are related to the past (or previous life) and explain the present.

The next eight belong to the present, and the last two represent what is happening in the present. 

The series consists of: 

(1) Ignorance (avijja; avidya), specifically ignorance of the four noble truth of the nature of life, of transmigration, and of nirvana; which leads to.. 

(2) Faulty thought-constructions about reality (sankhara; samskara). These in turn provide the structure of 

(3) Knowledge (vinnana; vijnana), the object of which is..

(4) Name and form—i.e., the principle of individual identity (nama rupa) and the sensory perception of an object—which are accomplished through..

(5) The six domains (ayatana; shadayatana)—i.e., the five senses and their objects—and the mind as the coordinating organ of sense impressions. The presence of objects and senses leads to.. 

(6) Contact (phassa; sparsha) between the two, which provides..

(7) Sensation (vedana). Because this sensation is agreeable or non good, it gives rise to..

(8) Thirst (tanha; trishna) and in turn to..

(9) Actions  (upadana). This sets in motion (10) the process of becoming (bhava; bjava), which fructifies in.. 

(11) Birth (jati) of the individual and hence of various sufferings..

(12)Sorrows of disease, old age, death ( jaramaranam). 

And this cycle continues..

The formula can be in direct order (anuloma) as above, in reverse order (pratiloma), or in negative order (e.g., “What is it that brings about the cessation of death? The cessation of birth”). 

So meditate.. break the cycle and live joyfully being good in mind , speech and action guarding nirvana..
