Hello Deshy,
When we examine what the Buddha said about causes of suffering, in the decond noble truth its desire, clinging and ignorance, do you agree?
Now can you name one action that is not driven by the above three causes? By explaning the causes of suffering the Buddha covered the whole issue of cause and effect imo.
Now, i know that you can hardly find two Buddhists agree on the interpretations of the four noble truths. I ve read a whle ago that the ones who truely and fully understand the four noble truths are the ones who are fully liberated (you can exclude me, not sure about you
)
However, I am not sure why you say "if something is caused then we are still in the same cycle". It is exactly because something is caused that you can break the cycle. By eliminating the cause you eliminate the result... cycle is broken like that Eliminating the cause becomes another cause, you are still in the same cycle
