The Path to Peace
“One who know dependent arising, knows the Dhamma, One who knows the Dhamma knows dependent arising” the Buddha (MN28)
The teaching of dependent arising cannot be overstated. Existence is always conditional and dependent on something else in existence.
Knowing and understanding this as “embodied” wisdom allows for the removal of personal suffering.
Suffering, like all else that exists, arises and ceases due to known causes. This is the key to halting suffering and attaining joy and happiness!
All that exists arises, evolves and decays based on precise causes. The end of suffering is possible, as “all” in existence is causally dependent and impermanent!

Comes the arising of that.

The Buddha (SN12.61)
