Deep dives
Understanding Dependent Origination
Dependent origination is the Buddhist concept that all phenomena arise dependent upon other phenomena. It emphasizes that all things exist in dependence upon other things. For example, a car is not just a standalone object, but rather a combination of various parts and processes. This concept encourages us to see the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things, rather than viewing them as independent entities.
