Dependent Arising - Paticcasamupada
Paticcasamupada is a belief that is essential in fully understanding the Buddha’s Dhamma . This is because it leads to the realisation, or deep understanding, of the Three Marks of Existence , also known as the Three Universal Truths . This is the belief that everything that is in existence exists because other things are in existence. Therefore, everything is interconnected, and everything affects everyone. Paticcasamupada also relates to the principle of conditionality . This means that everything, whether mental or physical, exists and occurs because of the presence of certain conditions. Everything is dependent on other things. More BELOW the FOLD .
