Re: Dukkha and Tanha

Namaste Gingerjack,


thank you for the post.

it is only for a linguist convention that we list something as the cause of something else, in Buddhism. our teaching, in this regard, is called Interdependent Co-Arising which, simplistically, means "this is because that is and that is because this is."

therefore, in the 12-Linked Chain of Causation, each one of the phenomea is both the product of and the source of all the other links.

please review this thread for more information:
