The whole “world” is our six senses.This is where it ALL starts.
When the eye meet an object, the eye consciousness arises.
The union of three: The eye+ the object + the eye consciousness = contact (arises)
(The same is true for all other 5 senses).
Contact gives rise to feeling, perception and mental formations.
In every step there is this “glue” which makes it ”sticky”
Feeling then give rise to craving …to clinging…to becoming…births…(Dependent Arising/Origination)

I am so glad I read, "When the eye meet an object...." today. At the bottom of the posting the link led me to the Bhikhu Bodhi's write up on Dependent Origination which is excellent. I have not finished reading it because of it's length but I know I will do so.
I also know I will be visiting "Wisdom through Mindfulness" again.
Thank you,
Kurban
