Description
Summary:Dependent Origination (Pāli paṭiccasamuppāda) is one of the fundamental concepts of early Buddhism. Traditionally, it is interpreted as a description of saṃsāra, the cycle of rebirth.

This perspective opens new possibilities for the integration of Buddhist mind development, cognitive psychology and psychotherapy.
