Transcendental Dependent Arising is written by Bhikkhu Bodhi. The Upanisa Sutta is explained. The primary principle of the Buddha's teaching is Dependent Arising which is both the objective content of its liberating insight and the germinative basis for its extensive network of doctrines and disciplines. This principle is so important to the Buddha's doctrine that comprehension of dependent arising is said to be necessary to comprehend the entire teaching. "He who sees dependent arising sees the Dhamma; he who sees the Dhamma sees dependent arising," the Buddha said.
