Dependent Origination
For everything that exists, there is a thing or set of things that must also exist for it to be present. There was a set of factors that let you come into existence, and they have persisted and will persist after the event that is you transforms beyond its currently recognizable state. We mistakenly localize the self around a center that in and of itself doesn’t exist.
A person is not a pattern. They express patterns. The events in their life are the by-product of the disposition of the person’s awareness. We are a unique voice in a grand chorus, having a depth and range that is powerful enough to echo throughout infinity itself.
“Whoever sees the Dharma sees Dependent Origination, and whoever sees Dependent Origination sees the Dharma.” Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.
