【The Origin of Suffering】- reflection on the process of cyclic existence in terms of its
origin

【2' Reflection on the process of cyclic existence in terms of its origin The origin of cyclic existence is explained in three parts:  】

This says why do we go through the process of cyclic existence?  What is the reason?  This is divided into three parts.  

【1. How the afflictions arise  
2. How you thereby accumulate karma  
3. How you die and are reborn】

Why do we go through cyclic existence? It is because of the causes. What are the causes? They are afflictions and karma, or delusions and karma. That's it.  So how do afflictions arise?  We must understand that first. And why would afflictions and karma bring about cyclic existence?  So he will then explain how one accumulates karma. But how is death and rebirth brought about?  So then on how one dies and is reborn, this principle is then expounded next. Through these, we will find the causes [for cyclic existence].  Then we can look at the causes to see how we can clear them away.

这个为什么会生死呀？由于这个因。因是什么？烦恼跟业，惑、业，就是这样。那么这个烦恼怎么发生的呢？先了解。为什么发生了这个惑跟业会招感到生死呢？所以他就讲，这个为什么会集业。那么招感生死又是怎么样的招感法呢？所以怎么死，又怎么会结呢，这个道理下面就了解一下。从这个地方，我们就把因找到了，然后从因上面看看，怎么样把它清除。
