Dependent Origination


The teaching of Dependent Origination says life, the world, the universe are built on a set of relationships in which the arising and cessation of phenomena depend on some other phenomena which condition them.

The principle can be given in a short formula of four lines:

        When this is, that is
        This arising, that arises
        When this is not, that is not
        This ceasing, that ceases.
