How to break cycle at each point:

To break the cycle of dependent origination at each point, one can:

1. Ignorance (avijja): By gaining knowledge of the Three Universal Truths through studying and contemplation, one can overcome ignorance and develop wisdom.
2. Mental formations (sankhara): By engaging in wholesome mental formations rooted in understanding, one can weaken the link between ignorance and the subsequent nidanas.
3. Consciousness (viññana): By developing mindfulness and concentration, one can become aware of the arising and passing away of different types of consciousness and gain insight into how they condition our experience.
4. Name and form (nama-rupa): By recognizing the interdependent nature of name and form and their impermanence, one can reduce identification with them and develop insight into the nature of phenomena.
5. The six sense bases (salayatana): By practicing restraint of the senses and cultivating mindfulness, one can reduce the likelihood of unwholesome sensory experiences and weaken the link between the sense bases and subsequent nidanas.
6. Contact (phassa): By recognizing the impermanence and unsatisfactoriness of sensory experiences, one can develop non-attachment and reduce the potential for craving and aversion.
7. Feeling (vedana): By developing equanimity and non-reactivity to pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral feelings, one can reduce the potential for craving and aversion.
8. Craving (tanha): By recognizing the unsatisfactoriness of craving and developing insight into its impermanent and conditioned nature, one can reduce attachment and weaken the subsequent nidanas.
9. Clinging (upadana): By recognizing the impermanence and unsatisfactoriness of objects of clinging and developing non-attachment, one can weaken the link between clinging and subsequent nidanas.
10. Becoming (bhava): By developing positive karmic habits and intentions, one can weaken the link between clinging and subsequent existence, reducing the potential for suffering.
11. Birth (jati): By recognizing the impermanence and conditioned nature of birth and identity, one can weaken attachment to these concepts and develop insight into the nature of phenomena.
12. Old age and death (jara-marana): By recognizing the unsatisfactoriness and inevitability of old age and death, one can cultivate wisdom and develop an acceptance of the impermanence and cyclic nature of existence.
