Quotations: Interdependent Origination

རྒྱལ་བའི་བཀའ། The Word of the Buddha

ཆོས་རྣམས་ཐམས་ཅད་རྒྱུ་ལས་བྱུང་། །

དེ་རྒྱུ་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པས་གསུངས། །
རྒྱུ་ལ་འགོག་པ་གང་ཡིན་པ། །

དགེ་སྦྱོང་ཆེན་པོས་འདི་སྐད་གསུངས། །

All dharmas originate from causes.
The Tathagata has taught these causes,
And also that which puts a stop to these causes—
This too has been taught by the Great Shramana.

Buddha Shakyamuni: Essence of Dependent Origination dharani
