Lets use the example of attachment to outcomes to illustrate the Twelve Nidanas of dependent origination.

1. Ignorance (avijja): The person lacks understanding of the true nature of reality, including the impermanence and unpredictable nature of outcomes.
2. Mental formations (sankhara): Due to ignorance, the person forms habitual patterns of attaching to certain outcomes and expecting them to bring happiness or fulfillment.
3. Consciousness (viññana): The persons consciousness is conditioned by these mental formations, making them prone to attachment to outcomes.
4. Name and form (nama-rupa): The persons body and mind manifest in a way that is susceptible to attachment to outcomes.
5. The six sense bases (salayatana): The persons sense organs interact with the external world.
6. Contact (phassa): The person encounters a situation or stimulus that triggers their attachment, such as a desire for success in a particular endeavor.
7. Feeling (vedana): The person experiences a pleasant or unpleasant feeling depending on whether the desired outcome is achieved or not.
8. Craving (tanha): The person develops a strong desire for the outcome they are attached to, believing it will bring happiness or fulfillment.
9. Clinging (upadana): The persons attachment to the desired outcome intensifies, causing them to cling to it as necessary for their happiness.
10. Becoming (bhava): This clinging to outcomes reinforces the persons habitual patterns and karmic tendencies.
11. Birth (jati): The persons attachment to outcomes leads to a narrow outlook and limited perspective, reinforcing the cycle of mental formations and karmic consequences.
12. Old age and death (jara-marana): The persons attachment to outcomes, if left unaddressed, can lead to physical, mental, and emotional suffering and perpetuate negative consequences in future situations or even future lives.

This illustration shows how attachment to outcomes can lead to a cycle of suffering and perpetuate negative consequences, ultimately leading to old age and death. By understanding the nature of dependent origination, one can develop a greater sense of impermanence and loosen their attachment to outcomes, leading to greater peace and equanimity in life.

How to break cycle at each point:

To break the cycle of attachment to outcomes at each point of the Twelve Nidanas of dependent origination, one could take the following actions:

1. Ignorance (avijja): The person could seek out teachings or guidance that help them gain insight into the impermanence and unpredictability of outcomes. This could involve studying Buddhist philosophy, practicing mindfulness meditation, or working with a trusted teacher or mentor.

2. Mental formations (sankhara): By recognizing habitual patterns of thought and behavior that reinforce attachment to outcomes, the person can begin to actively challenge these patterns and develop more flexible and open-minded perspectives.

3. Consciousness (viññana): Mindfulness meditation can help the person become more aware of the ways in which their consciousness is conditioned by mental formations, allowing them to see things more clearly and free from attachment.

4. Name and form (nama-rupa): Mindfulness practices can help the person become more aware of the physical and emotional sensations associated with attachment to outcomes, reducing the tension and stress that often accompany it.

5. The six sense bases (salayatana): By developing greater awareness of the senses and their role in shaping our perceptions of reality, the person can begin to see things more objectively and less colored by their desires and attachments.

6. Contact (phassa): Mindfulness practice can help the person become more mindful of the ways in which contact with the external world triggers attachment, allowing them to investigate these triggers and respond to them more skillfully.

7. Feeling (vedana): Through mindfulness practice, the person can develop greater equanimity toward pleasant and unpleasant experiences, reducing the intensity of their emotional reactions and freeing them from the grasp of attachment.

8. Craving (tanha): Mindfulness can help the person become more aware of their cravings and desires, allowing them to investigate them more closely and make more skillful choices in response to them.

9. Clinging (upadana): Mindfulness can help the person recognize their clinging to desired outcomes and the impact that this clinging has on their wellbeing. By becoming aware of this clinging and its consequences, they can start to let go of it and find greater peace and freedom.

10. Becoming (bhava): By cultivating mindfulness and wisdom, the person can begin to weaken the underlying karmic tendencies that reinforce attachment to outcomes, reducing the likelihood of future negative consequences.

11. Birth (jati): Through mindfulness and wisdom practices, the person can develop a broader perspective and become more open to alternative possibilities and opportunities for personal growth and happiness.

12. Old age and death (jara-marana): By letting go of attachment to outcomes, the person can reduce the suffering and negative consequences associated with unfulfilled desires and enjoy a greater sense of peace and equanimity in all aspects of life.
