(Auto-Translation): The concept that "everything exists" as stated in the Sutras of Zhanuthar is just one extreme (misconception), and the belief that "nothing exists" is also another extreme (misconception). After explaining this, the Buddha said that the two extremes (misconceptions) do not touch reality, and because of the ignorance 'avijja', there is the experience 'sankhara'. It is through 'sankhara' that knowledge 'vijjana' arises. In this way, both the revolving nature of cyclical existence is produced due to the unconditioned cessation of 'avijja', leading to the cessation of 'sankhara', and due to the cessation of 'sankhara', there is the cessation of knowledge. This explains the interrupted nature of the cycle.
