Pratītyasamutpāda Sequence Explained
Pratītyasamutpāda, often translated as Dependent Origination, describes the process by which all phenomena arise in dependence upon other phenomena. It outlines a causal chain, typically consisting of 12 links.
Identifying Key Links
The question provides four key links in this chain:
