Examining Step by Step, Did the Buddha Use Causal Relationships Other than Dependent Origination?
Channel: Samatha Vipassana Trust
Date: 2022-09-08

In this talk, Ven. Khema emphasizes the importance of understanding the causal relationship among the links of Dependent Origination, the Three Characteristics of Existence, the Four Noble truths. A deeper understanding of the actual teachings of the Buddha can only be acquired by immersing oneself in the study the Suttas where these causal relationships are explained in details by the Buddha himself. Ven. Khema also reads from MN-24: Rathavinīta Sutta - The Relay Chariots.
