Topic: Pratityasamutpada

	BUDDHISM. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		All phenomena arise in interrelation and in dependence on causes and conditions, and thus are subject to inevitable decay and cessation.
		The casual conditions are defined in a 12-membered chain called dependent origination (pratityasamutpada) whose links are: ignorance, predisposition, consciousness, name-form, the senses, contact, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age, and death, whence again ignorance.
		With this distinctive view of cause and effect, Buddhism accepts the pan-Indian presupposition of samsara, in which living beings are trapped in a continual cycle of birth-and-death, with the momentum to rebirth provided by one’s previous physical and mental actions (see karma).

		But pratityasamutpada is sunyata, sunyata is the true nature of things or freedom from the false view of independent existence, and such freedom is nirvana (renunciation, of false view).
		For him, in other words, samyag-drishti seems to have meant `comprehensive view.' Moreover, since sunyata, usually translated emptiness, but meaning rather 'existential openness,' in the translation of Herbert V. Guenther, referring to the contingency or mutual dependence in pratityasamutpada or the absence of independent existence, it is equivalent to absolute indivision or nonduality (samata, advayata).
		The central philosophy is interdependence (pratityasamutpada); it is based on the idea of correlatives or necessary conditions (hetupratiyaya).

		It is the fundamental principle that the entire world, from the largest to the smallest, from our feelings to our consciousness, from how we think to how we act, come into being as a convergence of necessary primary and secondary causal conditions.
		The goal of Buddhism is our liberation, or as Morpheus said to Neo in the Matrix: “Free your mind.” The ignorance of Pratityasamutpada can blind us about the transient nature of everything, especially about the nature of self, and what can be identified as the extension of the self.
		The Buddha himself has commented on this in the Diverse Agama Sutra #293 when he was comparing Pratityasamutpada with nirvana, “The meaning of Pratityasamutpada runs very deep.

		According to the documents of the early Buddhism the Buddha's two main ideas are pratityasamutpada and anatman.
		His motive in part for a new faith was derived from his examination of the religious practice found in Korea at that time--magical charms, shamanic prayer, or religious exclusivism.
		When "Faith in a truthful religion" is viewed in the context of the history of Buddhist thought, I would state that early Buddhism's pratityasamutpada developed into Hwayen's Dharmadatu causation of shishiwuae, based on which Won Buddhist chochobulsang and sasabulgong1 developed further.

	The Ancient Game Of GO. Plus Over 200 Advanced Energy Workshops for Physical and Spiritual Evolution.
		Everything is what it is by virtue of its relationships to everything else, and since no fixed thing serves as the ultimate ground of this vast complex, everything is subject to constant change.
		In the same way the principles of impermanence (anitya) and interconnectedness (pratityasamutpada) are also fundamental to the game of Go.
		The most obvious manifestation of inter- connectedness in Go can be seen in the way groups of stones develop during play while the shifting significance of these groups and the stones that compose them is a clear example of impermanence.

		It is relativity and dependent causation as well as the Absolute, for it is the Absolute itself which appears as relative and acts as the binding thread giving them unity and meaning.
		Pratityasamutpada can formulaically be stated as This being, that arises or depending on the cause, the effect arises.
		He who knows that all empirical Dharmas are Shunya…that there is neither bondage nor release, that all dharmas are absolutely equal, that in fact difference does not exist, knows the truth and attains the immortal blissful Nirvana.

	Toward a Buddhist Ecological Cosmology
		The failure of the human mind to adequately grasp the truth of pratityasamutpada remained the consistent concern of Buddhist analysis.
		Freedom from the suffering and unhappiness (dukha), rooted in the subsequent attachments to those erroneously conceived phenomena, was the goal of the path.
		Here the Mahayana tradition is consistent with the original insight of, and scholastic development by, the Hinayana tradition into the nature of phenomena as dependently derived and conditionally produced as the expression of multiple, interdependent factors.

	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum > The Place Of Pratityasamutpada In The Dharma
		In discussions in several threads here at Buddhist Philosophy I have noticed that there are differences which have their root in how a particular tradition, or individual, views pratityasamutpada (variously translated as Dependent Origination, Interdependent Arising, Dependent Co-Origination, etc.).
		But I would go further and identify pratityasamutpada with the dethless, the unborn, and with ultimate nature.
		It is here, I understand, that I part company with a number of traditions and individual practitioners.

	Dependent Arising
		In Sanskrit the word for dependent- arising is pratityasamutpada The word pratitya has three different meanings--meeting, relying, and depending--but all three, in terms of their basic import, mean dependence.
		Hence, the meaning of pratityasamutpada is that which arises in dependence upon conditions, in reliance upon conditions, through the force of conditions.
		On a subtle level, it is explained as the main reason why phenomena are empty of inherent existence.

		It is the other side of interdependence (pratityasamutpada).
		All things are interrelated, you cannot take out an object and say this is here in and of itself.
		No ignorance and also no extinction of it and so forth until no old age and death and also no extinction of them.

	Axis Age Defined
		The second Noble Truth is that suffering itself has a cause.
		At the simplest level, this may be said to be desire; but the theory was fully worked out in the complex doctrine of "dependent origination" (pratityasamutpada), which explains the interrelationship of all reality in terms of an unbroken chain of causation.
		The third Noble Truth, however, is that this chain can be broken--that suffering can cease.

	Dharmajim's Sutra Salon
		I wrote this essay as the first part of an extended inquiry into the teaching of what I have come to refer to as “Interdependent Transformation,” often referred to as “Dependent Origination.” As my study and practice of the Dharma deepened I became increasingly aware that this teaching is the heart of the Buddha’s awakening....
		The key term that designates the Buddha’s core realization in sanskrit is pratityasamutpada, or what Dharmajim likes to call Interdependent Transformation.
		Beginning around 1990, Dharmajim has kept a diary for the purpose of investigating what it would mean to operate from a non-being based ontology, a philosophical view that does not contain the understandings of being, essence, or substance....

	Bunnie Diehl: If you don't like it, just go away: Nice Confession of Faith
		Bono gives the classic C.S. Lewis argument against the "Jesus is a great thinker" argument, but does it in a fresh way that doesn't sound like he's quoting Lewis.
		When I became a Christian I had been pretty familiar with Buddhist ideas of karma and interdependent origination (pratityasamutpada) the twelve steps that take you from ignorance to death.
		The best way I could understand what was going on was that this chain of causality, this chain of past events determining my future had some how been broken in one single link.

		The word pratitya has three different meanings--meeting, relying, and depending--but all three, in terms of their basic import, mean dependence.
		Thus the doctrine of dependant origination explains the twelve links in a chain which constitute the process through which the external world and the sentient beings within it revolve in a cycle of existence propelled by karmic propensities and their interaction with

		In 1998, he received a M.A. in Religion from Eastern Mennonite University.
		His thesis was entitled, "Building a Context for Buddhist and Christian Peacemaking: The Kingdom of God, Pratityasamutpada, and Sunyata." Because of this degree, Chad works as a painter.
		But, alas, one master's degree wasn't good enough, so Chad has decided to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University.

		It is, on the whole, a collection of aphorisms loosely tied together by a subject matter in common: pratityasamutpada.
		The author sets himself to demonstrate this principle (naya) by means of arguments (yukti) that are occasionally supported by references to agama (scriptural authority).

		It seems that his name has been synonymous with doctrine of “Emptiness” or Sunyata.
		We are familiar with his writings solely on his relativistic doctrine of Pratityasamutpada and its relation with Sunyavada doctrine of Madhyamaka Buddhist Philosophy.
		His systematization of Madhyamaka philosophy on the nature of body and phenomena is without parallel in the history of Indian philosophy.

		I believe that the essential teaching which truly defines Buddhism is the teaching of pratityasamutpada, or dependent arising.
		My saying this emphasises the necessity to recognise the structure of the Buddha’s teachings.
		Some of these, like pratityasamutpada, self-emptiness and the actuality of the unconditioned, are absolutely central to the Buddha’s view.

		According to Yeshe Gyaltsen, the object of this deep conviction is the law of karma, pratityasamutpada, the fundamental conceptual expression of the Buddha’s Enlightened experience - what we must totally surrender to - what we must unconditionally accept.
		The View is faith in conditionality, in what Joanna Macy calls the ‘spaciousness and workability of pratityasamutpada’, realising the openness and consistency of life, and that the present is pregnant with karma.
		I have been exploring conditionality with the help of my next major recommendation - Joanna Macy’s Mutual Causality in Buddhism and General Systems Theory.
