The Doctrine of Paticcasamuppada
by U Than Daing | 1996 | 18,306 words
Summary: This book deals with Paticcasamuppada (鈥榙ependent origination鈥�): a Pali compound consisting of three words:
1) Patticca, which means 鈥渂ecause鈥� and 鈥渄ependent upon鈥�,
2) Sam, which means 鈥渨ell鈥�,
3) and Uppada, which means 鈥渁rising of effect through cause鈥�.
So dependent on 鈥榗ause鈥� there arises 鈥榚ffect鈥�; hence it is known in English as 鈥淟aw of Dependent Origination or Cycle of Rebirth鈥�.
The true Pali transliteration of the word is pa峁璱ccasamupp膩da and in Sanskrit it is known as prat墨tyasamutp膩da (啶啶班い啷�啶む啶じ啶啶む啶ぞ啶�)
