Theravada Doctrine of Dependent Origination
An essay on the core teaching of dependent origination according to suttas of the Theravada tradition.
"Prajñācāra" is the "practice" of "knowledge" or "wisdom". It refers to the practice of Mahāyāna Buddhism, from the line “prajñā-vara-pāramitāya caryā”, “the practice of the perfection of excellent knowledge” in the Ratnaguṅasaṃcaya-gāthā, a commentary on the Prajñāpāramitā. Here I wish to share some of my thoughts and writings on Buddhist thought and practice. I hope that this may be of benefit to all, in the long path from saṃsāric existence to the other shore of nirvāṇa. ~~ Shì Hùifēng

ReplyDeleteGood Day Hui-Feng,
ReplyDeleteDo you need a password for each of your essays or will one password open all and feed me knowledge? If I can, I would like to start with Dependent Origination, digest that and move on to others. Is that possible?

Thanks for sharing with us of your work
ReplyDeleteHi Huifeng,
ReplyDeleteI noticed two typos:
1) Near the bottom of page 2, it says "Four Ayra Truths" which of course should be "Four Arya Truths."
2) Near the bottom of page 8, it says "network of conditional relation," but the plural "relations" needs to be used.
Overall, I enjoyed your essay, and finished it wanting to find out more about Dependent Origination--which I presume was its aim.
