Twelve Nidānas in 6 Languages

[joe.schraube]

Hello ,

for a Buddhist layout work I search for the Twelve Nidānas in 6 Languages. I first take the en wikipedia but the is not compliet. I will support with you help also the wikipedia articles if we move here forward.

So far I get it right here we have no "translations", we have a spell the Pali in 6 differnt letters- language systhems.
Like : avidyā is the pali word in english letters. Reason : in almost all Buddist country very basic pali terms get not transpatet. The use the Pali terms. More and more also western Buddhists come to the pouint : better not translate for ex. Dukkha.

The collectionI post here is what I collect from the en wikipedia and from some monks around me. The Thai is from a Theravada institut in Bangkok, today I will go for the Tibetan here in Gangtok Sikkim. Help me with the missing parts in Burmese and Sinhala woud be great.
Also if you dont agree with some spelling please post your comment.
The goal is a vectorgrafik in some Artistically beautiful font. I will open source the work.
It is like a buddhist tag cloude of a core teaching and my motivation - why I like it is: "hey Buddhist of all sects dont go to much in to secterian ways !

Twelve nidanas (Skt. dvādaśāṅga-pratītyasamutpāda; Tib. རྟེན་འབྲེལ་ཡན་ལག་བཅུ་གཉིས་, tendrel yenlak chunyi; Wyl. rten 'brel yan lag bcu gnyis) — the twelve links of dependent origination.

Ignorance (Skt. avidyā; Tib. མ་རིག་པ་, ma rigpa; Wyl. ma rig pa): Fundamental ignorance of the truths and the delusion of mistakenly perceiving the skandhas as a self.
Formation (Skt. saṁskāra; Tib. འདུ་བྱེད་, duje; Wyl. 'du byed): As long as there is ignorance there is the formation of karma: positive, negative and neutral. This forms the rebirths in the various realms.
Consciousness (Skt. vijñāna; Tib. རྣམ་པར་ཤེས་པ་, nampar shepa; Wyl. rnam par shes pa): Formations cause the consciousness of the next existence. The consciousness which propels one towards the next existence is called the impelling consciousness. And the consciousness that is led to that particular state, once the conditions have come together, is known as the consciousness of the impelled result. These two aspects of consciousness are counted as a single link since together they establish the link between two lives.
Name-and-form (Skt. nāma-rūpa; Tib. མིང་དང་གཟུགས་, ming dang zuk; Wyl. ming dang gzugs): The five skandhas. By the power of consciousness one is linked to a womb, and there the body develops: the form and the four ‘name’ skandhas of sensation, perception, formation and consciousness.
The six ayatanas (Skt. ṣaḍāyatana; Tib. སྐྱེ་མཆེད་དྲུག་, kyemche druk; Wyl. skye mched drug): The six inner ayatanas of the sense faculties then arise.
Contact (Skt. sparśa; Tib. རེག་པ་, rekpa; Wyl. reg pa): The coming together of objects, sense faculty and consciousness is contact.
Sensation (Skt. vedanā; Tib. ཚོར་བ་, tsorwa; Wyl. tshor ba): From contact arises sensation: pleasurable, painful and neutral.
Craving (Skt. tṛṣṅā; Tib. སྲེད་པ་, sepa; Wyl. sred pa): There then develops a desire not to be separated from pleasurable sensations and to be free from painful sensations.
Grasping (Skt. upādāna; Tib. ལེན་པ་, lenpa; Wyl. len pa): As craving increases, it develops into grasping, i.e. actively striving never to be separated from what is pleasurable and to avoid what is painful.
Becoming (Skt. bhava; Tib. སྲིད་པ་, sipa; Wyl. srid pa): Through this grasping one acts with body, speech and mind, and creates the karma that determines one’s next existence.
Rebirth (Skt. jāti; Tib. སྐྱེ་བ་, kyewa; Wyl. skye ba): Through the power of this becoming, one is reborn in a particular birthplace whenever the necessary conditions are assembled.
Old age and death (Skt. jarā-maraṇa; Tib. རྒ་ཤི་, ga shi; Wyl. rga shi): Following rebirth there is a continual process of aging as the aggregates change and develop; and eventually there is death when the aggregates finally cease.
