Dependent on Rebirth Consciousness arises Mind and Matter (Mental and Physical Existence);

Dependent on Mind and Matter (Mental and Physical Existence) arises the Six Spheres of Sense (Six-Sense Organs);

Dependent on Contact/Sensorial Impression arises Feeling;

Dependent on Feeling arises Craving;

Dependent on Craving arises Grasping/Clinging;

Dependent on Grasping/Clinging arises Actions/Process of Becoming (Kamma-bhava);

Dependent on Actions/Process of Becoming (Kamma-bhava) arises Rebirth;
