Dependent Arising teaches us that all phenomena arise and fade through interconnected causes and conditions, a core understanding that leads to freedom. Delusion - a central theme in this teaching - keeps us stuck in cycles of suffering, as we cling to the idea of a fixed, separate self. By examining how this delusion shows up in daily life, we can begin to see the conditions that obscure our understanding, keeping us trapped in attachment and fear. Through mindfulness and self-inquiry, we can learn to shift our perspective, gradually developing insight into the nature of existence.
