The article discusses how the Twelve Nidanas of dependent origination can be applied to navigating the cycle of grief. Ignorance, mental formations, consciousness, name, and form, six sense bases, contact, feeling, craving, clinging, becoming, birth, and old age and death are the Twelve Nidanas that explain how grief arises and perpetuates. The article provides elaboration on each point to understand how the cycle occurs.

In order to break the cycle, it is necessary to cultivate mindfulness, wisdom, and compassion. The article provides examples of how to break the cycle at each point, such as developing an understanding of the impermanence of all phenomena to break the cycle of ignorance. It then explains how each point connects to the next, leading to a new perspective on the self, the world, and relationships.

Understanding the interdependence of the Twelve Nidanas, cultivating mindfulness, wisdom, and compassion, can lead to breaking the cycle of suffering. The article emphasizes that it is necessary to develop a deeper awareness of the body and mind, practice self-compassion, cultivate feelings of interconnectedness, and recognize that all things are ultimately empty and without inherent self-nature.
