origin

Origin (Sanskrit: pratītya-samutpāda; Pali: paticca-samuppāda), Important Buddhist terms: all conditioned dharmas are formed by various causes and conditions, and this principle is dependent origination.Everything is in change due to the interdependence of various conditions. This is the law that the Buddha realized on the causes of the formation, existence, destruction and destruction of worldly phenomena.

Basic meaning

Origin: Pali paiccasamuppda。 That is, all the laws of existence are the meaning of arise from various causes.

《The Pure Path of the Path of Dependence gives several explanations of dependent origination:

1. Because it can lead to benefits and happiness, it is worth understanding by wise people (paccetu)It is fate (paicca);It's together when it arises (saha)and total (samm)Born (uppajjati),It is not alone, nor is it without cause, so it is a starting point (samuppda)。In this way, cause and arise are caused by cause and cause.

2. It arises together as a result, and the causes of many causes rather than rejecting causes, and this is the causes of cause.Therefore, the aggregation is the cause of that (result) and the cause of that cause, and the cause of that is the cause.

3. Such combination of causes [fruit ]Therefore, it is said to be cause, and it arises together, so it is said to be caused.The meaning of the result is achieved by it, not the lack of it;Also, face each other with various conditions [fruit ]Therefore, it is fate.They arise together and from each other in a law of inseparableness, so they are said to be the beginning.In this way, cause and arise are cause and cause.

4. If they are not destined to each other or lack each other, [fruit ]Then it is impossible to arise.Because all causes are at the same time and together, not each and each other, nor do they arise in succession, it is said to be dependent origination. (Vm.577-9)

The Buddha preached that dependent origination focuses on explaining the causes of all sufferings in life.Life is not caused without cause, nor is it created by the great freedom heaven, God, etc. It is produced by a series of causes.

In the scriptures, the Buddha usually explains the dependent origination (the twelve dependent origination branches):

What is the origin of the cause?All the monks, ignorance is caused by action, action is caused by consciousness, consciousness is caused by name and form, name and form are caused by six places, the six places are caused by touch, contact is caused by feeling, feeling is caused by love, love is caused by taking, taking is caused by existence, and birth is caused by old age, death, sorrow, sorrow, suffering, worries, and annoyance.In this way, this entire suffering arises.All the monks are called cause and effect.

Buddhist doctrine

Broadly

《The Madhyamaka says: The Dharma born from cause and condition is empty.The Yoga School and the Dharma-Shadow Sect advocate the origin of Alaya, and use the three realms to only mind and consciousness without realm to explain the origin of the world.The "Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana" describes the true nature of dependent origination, and the "Supreme Sutra" and other forms the Tathagatagarbha's dependent origination, all of which take the Buddha's mind and the Dharma pure mind as the root of the world.

Famous writers' statement

The Huayan Sect summarizes the various theories on dependent origination into four types in the form of judging teachings:

1、The origin of karma.From the worries and evil karma to bring bitter fruit, the cause and effect are continuous, the six realms are unfolded, and the cycle of life and death is the view of the origin of Hinayana;

2、The origin of Alaya.The seeds of Alaya consciousness arise from the seeds, and the current behavior is also intoxicated by the seeds. The existing laws are used as conditions, and they produce afflictions and evil karma and bring about suffering. The cause and effect of the three lifetimes are continuous, which is the view of the cause and effect of the Mahayana teachings;

3、The Tathagata's garbha originates.Also known as the true origin.For example, the true or Tathagatagarbha is driven by the causes of defilement and purity, and all kinds of things are born. The defilement is divided into the six realms of life and death, and the pure part shows the four kinds of saints, which are the view of the cause and origin of the Mahayana final teaching;

4、The origin of the Dharma Realm.The Dharma Realm usually refers to the true nature and the true nature, that is, the essence of the true nature of the Dharma nature is a Dharma Realm.It also forms a great cause for all dharmas, and uses one dharma to form all dharmas, and all dharmas produce one dharma, and one and many, the mind and the environment are harmonious and unobstructed, which is the view of the cause and origin of the perfect teaching.
