''Pratītyasamutpāda'' ((サンスクリット:प्रतीत्यसमुत्पाद); (パーリ語:पटिच्चसमुप्पाद) ''paṭiccasamuppāda''), commonly translated as dependent origination or dependent arising, states that all ''dharmas'' ("things") arise in dependence upon other ''dharmas'': "if this exists, that exists; if this ceases to exist, that also ceases to exist." It is a pragmatic teaching, which is applied to ''dukkha'' and the cessation of ''dukkha''. The term is also used to refer to the twelve links of dependent origination, which describes the chain of causes which result in rebirth. By reverting the chain, liberation from rebirth can be attained. ==Etymology== ''Pratityasamutpada'' (Sanskrit: प्रतीत्यसमुत्पाद) consists of two terms: * pratitya: "having depended" * samutpada: "arising", "rise, production, origin"〔(spokensanskrit.de, ''samutpada'' )〕 The term has been translated into English variously as ''dependent origination'', ''dependent arising'', ''interdependent co-arising'', ''conditioned arising'', and ''conditioned genesis''. The term could be translated somewhat more literally as ''arising in dependence upon conditions''. The term may also refer to the Twelve Nidānas, the twelvefold chain that describes the chain of rebirth. Generally speaking, in the Mahayana tradition, ''pratityasamutpada'' (Sanskrit) is used to refer to the general principle of interdependent causation, whereas in the Theravada tradition, ''paticcasamuppāda'' (Pali) is used to refer to the twelve nidanas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pratītyasamutpāda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
