Dependent Origination as the Highest Law of Nature “…Bhikkhus, I will teach you Dependent Origination and dependently arisen phenomena. Listen and attend closely, I will speak.” “…And what, bhikkhus, is Dependent Origination? (1)‘With birth as condition, aging-and death [comes to be)’: whether there is an arising of Tathagatas or no arising of Tathagatas, that element still persists, the stableness of the Dhamma, the fixed course of the Dhamma, specific conditionality. ‘A Tathagata awakens to this and breaks through to it. Having done so, he explains it, teaches it, proclaims it, establishes it, discloses it, analyses it, elucidates it. And he says: ‘See! With birth as condition, bhikkhus, aging-and-death.’ (2)‘With existence as condition, birth’ ... (3)‘With clinging as condition, existence’... (4)‘With craving as condition, clinging’ ... (5)‘With feeling as condition, craving’... (6)‘With contact as condition, feeling’... (7)‘With the six sense bases as condition, contact’ ... (8)‘With name-and-form as condition, the six sense bases’ ... (9)‘With consciousness as condition, name and form’... (10)‘With volitional formations as condition, consciousness’ . (11)‘With ignorance as condition, volitional formations’: whether there is an arising of Tathagatas or no arising of Tathagatas, that element still persists, the stableness of the Dhamma, the fixed course of the Dhamma, specific conditionality. ‘A Tathagata awakens to this and breaks through to it. Having done so, he explains it, teaches it, proclaims it, establishes it, discloses it, analyses it, elucidates it. And he says: ‘See! With ignorance as condition, bhikkhus, volitional formations.’” “Thus, bhikkhus, the actuality in this, the inerrancy, the not other wiseness, specific conditionality.” “This is called Dependent Origination.” The Connected Discourses Of the Buddha : A New Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya, Volume I, by Bhikkhu Bodhi, The Pali Text Society, Oxford, 2000, P.550-551 Vol.05 Ending
