Buddhist belief

Cause (supporting conditions) and Effect



Cause and Effect

Paticca-samuppada or dependent arising/origination

Causal interdependence Indra’s net Emptiness or voidness i.e. dependent

origination



Dharma in one sentence

When this is, that is. From the arising of this, that arises.When this is not, that is not. From the ceasing of this, that ceases.

Samyutta Nikya 12, 21

Another translation

When this is, that is; because this arises, that arises.When this is not, that is not; because this ceases, that ceases.



Two Extremes

There is a permanent and independent soul, self, consciousness…, as a cessation can be seen

There is nothing, as life is something

Middle way the Buddha denied the complete emptiness

Dependent origination



Dependent Origination is central to Buddhism

One who sees Dependent Origination, sees the Dhamma.One who sees the Dhamma, sees Dependent Origination

Majjhima Nikya 28
