Lets use the example of a person who avoids introspection to illustrate the Twelve Nidanas of dependent origination.
1. Ignorance (avijja): The person lacks understanding of the true nature of reality, including the nature of mind and emotions.
2. Mental formations (sankhara): Due to ignorance, the person has formed habitual patterns of avoiding introspection, preferring external distractions or superficial enjoyment to avoid dealing with their internal experiences.
3. Consciousness (viññana): The persons consciousness is conditioned by these mental formations, making them prone to avoid introspection and focus on external stimuli.
4. Name and form (nama-rupa): The persons body and mind (psychophysical constituents) manifest in a way that is comfortable avoiding introspection and seeking external pleasures.
5. The six sense bases (salayatana): The persons sense organs (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind) interact with the external world in a way that reinforces the avoidance of introspection.
6. Contact (phassa): The person encounters situations or stimuli that provide external pleasure or distractions and avoid introspection.
7. Feeling (vedana): The person experiences pleasant feelings from the external pleasures and distractions, reinforcing the avoidance of introspection.
8. Craving (tanha): The person develops a strong attachment to the external pleasures and distractions that allow the avoidance of introspection and an aversion to the internal experiences.
9. Clinging (upadana): The persons attachment to external pleasures and distractions intensifies, leading to a denial and repression of their internal experiences.
10. Becoming (bhava): This clinging to external pleasures and distractions reinforces the persons habitual patterns and karmic tendencies, perpetuating the cycle of avoidance and denial of introspection.
11. Birth (jati): The persons avoidance and denial of introspection manifest in a lack of self-awareness, poor emotional regulation, and a shallow understanding of themselves and others.
12. Old age and death (jara-marana): Unaddressed avoidance of introspection can lead to physical, mental, and emotional suffering, perpetuating negative consequences in future situations or even future lives.
In this example, we can see how the Twelve Nidanas apply to the arising and perpetuation of avoidance of introspection. By understanding dependent origination, a person can break the cycle through cultivating mindfulness, developing a deeper understanding of themselves and others, and liberating themselves from suffering.
