Chapter 2 - The Links Between Cause And Effect

Thus the process is going on, yet, anything can be traced upwards to where it originated and downwards to that which has origin depending on it, for nature is governed by the Law of Paticca Samuppada or depending on that, this originates. There is no break in the process. The events flow continuously in a series, one giving rise to another. As one ripple in a stream causes another, and that, also still another, so the causation goes on.

In reality, Paticca Samuppada is nothing but the ceaseless process of one's own Khandhas, i.e. perishing of the old ones giving place to the new, in other words, Paticca Samuppada is the Causal Continuum of arising and vanishing of physical and mental phenomena.
