          The author presents the principle of Dependent Origination from his experience of serious study and research for many years. It was found that Dependent Origination is an extension of the Four Noble Truths that explains the story of life in the present and life after death. That is, in the present life, the occurrence of thoughts in each moment of consciousness will have a complete cycle of Dependent Origination. And when it arises, it ceases. It is a factor for new thoughts to arise instead. As for life after death, it is rebirth. It is a continuation of the present moment by the mind or spirit. If you understand the principle of Dependent Origination, you will be able to understand life and understand other principles easily. Because other principles are all branches of the principle of Dependent Origination. The author wrote this book with the main purpose of learning according to the teachings of Buddhism, which will be useful for self-development and society. The author presents content that is not only based on academic principles, but also provides analytical perspectives based on experience to connect and expand to create new knowledge.
