	Transcendental Dependent Arising
		Dependent arising (paticcasamuppada) is the central principle of the Buddha's teaching, constituting both the objective content of its liberating insight and the germinative source for its vast network of doctrines and disciplines.
		In its abstract form the principle of dependent arising is equivalent to the law of the conditioned genesis of phenomena.
		To be sure, the application of dependent arising to the achievement of deliverance is already covered from one angle by the reverse or cessation side of the twelvefold formula, according to which the cessation of ignorance sets off a series of cessations culminating in the cessation of suffering.

	DEPENDENT ARISING AND THE EMPTINESS
		Dependent origination is thus on this model a thoroughly conventional and hence empty alternative to a reified causal model, which nonetheless permits all of the explanatory moves that a theory committed to causation can make.
		Hence the emptiness of dependent arising is the emptiness of emptiness.
		It is this dependence of motion on the moved, of the status of things as moved on their motion, and of both on conventions of individuation that, on this account, constitutes their emptiness.

	A Basic Buddhism Guide: Dependent Arising
		The not-understanding of Dependent Arising is the root of all sorrows experienced by all beings.
		Depending on the existence of unknowing in the heart there was volitional action, kamma or abhisankhara, made in those past lives.
		Depending on the existence of these volitions produced in past lives, there arises the Consciousness called "relinking" which becomes the basis of this present life.

	DEPENDENT ARISING : PATTICCA SAMUPPADA By Bhikkhu Bodhi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Again in describing his own quest for enlightenment, the Buddha says that immediately before his enlightenment, when he was sitting in meditation he began enquiring into the chain of conditioning, seeking the causal origination of suffering, and this inquiry led him to the discovery of dependent arising.
		It is through not understanding and not penetrating this truth of dependent arising that living beings have become entangled like a matted ball of thread,or have to become like grass and rushes, unable to pass beyond the woeful states of existence, unable to escape from samsara, the cycle of becoming.
		Thus dependent arising is not only the content of the Buddha's enlightenment, not only a philosophical doctrine, but it is also the truth that has to be realized to gain liberation from suffering.

	TRANSCENDENTAL DEPENDENT ARISING A Translation and Exposition of the Upanisa Sutta by Bhik (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		One particular exemplification of dependent arising,; found with minor variations in a number of suttas, shows the basic principle to serve as the scaffolding for the course of spiritual development issuing in final emancipation.
		The //Upanisa Sutta// gives three expositions of "transcendental dependent arising." The first expounds the sequence in reverse order, beginning with the last link in the series, the knowledge of the destruction of the cankers (//asavakkhaye nana//), and tracing the chain backwards to the first link in the liberative sequence, namely, faith.
		The immediate result of living in conformity with these guidelines to right action is the arising of a sense of freedom from remorse (//avippatisara//), Remorse, a feeling of regret over moral transgression and neglect, tends to provoke guilt, agitation, and self-recrimination.

	12 Links of Dependent Arising
		Hence, the meaning of [this Sanskrit term] is, that which arises in dependence upon conditions, in reliance upon conditions, through the force of conditions.
		In order to reflect on the fact that things -- the subjects upon which a meditator reflects -- are empty of inherent existence because dependently arisen, it is necessary to identify the subjects of this reflection: the phenomena that produce pleasure and pain, help and harm, and so forth.
		The fact that it cannot be found indicates that, except for its mere designation in dependence upon the coming together of certain circumstances, it does not exist.

	Nagarjuna (c. 150-250) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Interdependent causality and the emptiness which change depends on mean that things can always go either way, and so which way they in fact go depends intimately on one's own deeds.
		And this leads one to grasp that the proper site of practice for the Buddhist cannot be just the monastery, removed as it tries to be from the machinations of state, economy, social class and the other tumultuous and sundry affairs of suffering beings.

		Tucked away in the Samyutta Nikaya among the “connected sayings on causality”; (Nidanasamyutta) is a short formalized text entitled the Upanisa Sutta, the “Discourse on Supporting Conditions.” The Upanisa sutta reveals the entire course of man’s faring in the world as well as his treading of the path to its transcendence.
