Chapter 4 - Three Rounds In The Process Of Existence

Due to ignorance (Avijja) and craving (Tanha), a man does all sorts of good and bad actions, and thereby having gathered new Kammas at every instance of action is thus reborn after death. And again he goes on doing the same actions with his ignorance and craving and continues being born and reborn. These two predominant factors are indeed the origins of life which cause the being tremendously miserable in the cycle of lives in Samsara. Until and unless they are totally uprooted and annihilated the cycle of life (Bhavacakkara) or the Law of Cause and Effect or the Dependent Origination will be repeated continually round and round in the following twelve links.
