Interdependence in Action
A Soto Zen teacher on using mindfulness of emotions to cultivate a positive view of dependency
Interdependence
Interdependence in Buddhism, or dependent origination, (Sanskrit pratityasamutpada, Pali paticcasamuppada) is a core Buddhist concept that describes the interdependent nature of all phenomena. Nothing exists independently and everything is in a constant state of change. All phenomena are impermanent, including any notion of a fixed self, and exist as a result of causes and conditions. Other terms for this fundamental Buddhist principle are "dependent arising,” “conditioned origination,” “interdependent origination,” or, as Thich Nhat Hanh called it, “interbeing.”
