Dependent Origination - Birth (Jati): The 12 Links of Dependent Origination

Dependent Origination - Birth (Jati): The 12 Links of Dependent Origination

The purpose of this series of booklets is to help the earnest seeker to understand the concept and the links of Dependent Origination . This is the most important idea to be understood on the journey to Nibbāna. The Buddha used the term P a ṭ icca Samuppāda , which is Pāli for dependent origination. When one understands Dependent Origination one understands himself/herself and the world. It is truly the answer to the question of “Who am I?” This booklet goes into the various realms where beings dwell in all of the 31 planes of existence. This is a 12-part series of small books for each of the 12 links. This is the second booklet on the 11th link of Jati or Birth. Later all these booklets will be combined into a larger book or books.
