Chain of Conditioned Arising

Forward Order

With the base of ignorance (avijja), reaction (sankhara) arises; 
with the base of reaction (sankhara), consciousness (vinnana) arises; 
with the base of consciousness (vinnana), mind and body (nama-rupa) arise; 
with the base of mind and body (nama-rupa), the six senses (salayatana) arise; 
with the base of the six senses (salayatana), contact (phassa) arises; 
with the base of contact (phassa), sensation (vedana) arises; 
with the base of sensation (vedana), craving and aversion (tanha) arise; 
with the base of craving and aversion (tanha), attachment (upadana) arises; 
with the base of attachment (upadana), the process of becoming (bhava) arises; 
with the base of the process of becoming (bhava), birth (jati) arises; 
with the base of birth (jati), ageing (jara) and death (marana) arise, together with sorrow (soka), lamentation (paridev), physical and mental suffering and tribulations (dukkha-domanassupayasa). 

Thus arises this entire mass of suffering .

Reverse Order

With the complete eradication and cessation of ignorance (avijja), reaction (sankhara) ceases;
with the cessation of reaction (sankhara), consciousness (vinnana) ceases;
with the cessation of consciousness (vinnana), mind-body (nama-rupa) cease;
with the cessation of mind-body (nama-rupa), the six senses (salayatana) cease;
with the cessation of the six senses (salayatana), contact (phassa) ceases;
with the cessation of contact (phassa), seansation (vedana) ceases;
with the cessation of sensation (vedana), craving and aversion (tanha) cease;
with the cessation of craving and aversion (tanha), attachment (upadana) ceases;
with the cessation of attachment (upadana), the process of becoming (bhava) ceases;
with the cessation of the process of becoming (bhava), birth (jati) ceases;
with the cessation of birth (jati), ageing (jara) and death (marana) cease, together with sorrow (soka), lamentation (paridev), physical and mental sufferings and tribulations (dukkha-domanassupayasa).

Thus this entire mass of suffering ceases.
