How does decisive supporting cause (upanissaya paccaya) work? (and some related questions)
Upvote:0
It doesn't work that way around. Does one know whether not having given light on good place before? Or what else required? Paramis are technical complete at once, if going forth in this Sasana. So better to seek for Upanissaya toward the good Sangha, as present most useful Nissaya-paccaya and gives up what ever still carried with.
(one wouldn't be able to take this, if there had been no upanissaya-paccaya before, no strong relation cause.)

You may want to refer to Upanisasutta
If you can see that wishing for a future life itself as craving, caused by ignorance and the delusion, you would abandon it. If you have Faith in the Buddha, then your goal should be Nibbana. That is, to end Rebirth.
If your goal becomes Nibbana instead, then you can start practicing (i.e. developing) the Noble Eight Fold Path and Five Powers and Five Faculties will develop as a result of that.
As a starting point you can refer to this meditation on the Noble Eightfold path which is the first out of a 15 meditation program, and the last one is Suka patipada Khippabhinna -pleasant means and quick realization.
