Deconstructing Each Moment of Experience into Its Causes

Each moment of our experience is made up of many component parts, each of which continually changes at different rates. Causes and conditions affect and give rise to each of these components, and each of them is the result of many causes and conditions. Here we apply the Vaibhashika scheme of six types of causes and five types of results to analyze and deconstruct a problem we might face, as experienced in terms of the components of our five aggregates. A rigorous analysis of the aggregates in terms of cause and effect enables us to understand the voidness of causality and thus to overcome our problems and suffering.
