What Causes this Conditioned Emergence?
What is Dependent Co-origination?
The condensed ultra-cut answer is:
When this is present, that too is in existence.
When this arises, that too emerges.
In Detail:
The condition of
Ignorance causes Mental Construction to arise.
The condition of Mental
Construction causes Consciousness to arise.
The condition of
Consciousness causes Name-&-Form to arise.
The condition of
Name-&-Form causes The 6 Senses to arise.
The condition of
The 6 Senses causes Contact to arise.
The condition of
Contact causes Feeling to arise.
The condition of
Feeling causes Craving to arise.
The condition of
Craving causes Clinging to arise.
The condition of
Clinging causes Becoming to arise.
The condition of
Becoming causes Birth to arise.
The condition of
Birth causes Ageing, Decay & Death to arise.
The condition of
Ageing, Decay & Death causes Pain to arise...
Such is the arising of this entire immense mass of
Suffering!
This is called the Wrong Way ...
This is Dependent Co-origination!
A chain
of conditioned effects, that each causes new events to occur!
Everything has
