"interdependently arising origination", "co-dependent origination", "conditioned arising", "interdependency", "universal concatenation", and "radical relativity" are ways pratītyasamutpāda has been phrased.  this and the philosophy of emptiness the Dalai Lama has called two sides of the same coin, a homeomorphic equivalent for the foundation of universal solidarity.  i find the concept inspiring, if not beloved, and beloved if not inspiring :)

along with Nagarjuna: "All things which arise through pratitya-samutpada, I explain as emptiness. It is a conventional designation. It is itself the Middle Way.”

i'm not 'religious' "per se," but wherever i find threads of beauty and wisdom i like to *attempt* to interconnect them with a secular language.  thank you for your words past and future as they all help me be <3
