Interdependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda), also referred to as "dependent origination," is one of Buddhism's most fundamental teachings, describing how all phenomena arise in dependence upon multiple causes and conditions rather than existing independently or absolutely. Traditionally formulated as a twelve-link chain beginning with ignorance and culminating in suffering, it explains how craving and attachment perpetuate the cycle of rebirth. The principle reveals that nothing possesses inherent, independent existence—everything is interconnected and contingent. Understanding Dependent Origination is considered essential to grasping the nature of suffering and the path to liberation, as it demonstrates that suffering arises from identifiable causes and can therefore cease when those causes are eliminated.
