Je Tsongkhapa, a prominent 13th-century Tibetan Buddhist scholar, wrote “Praise for Dependent Arising” as a profound reflection on the principle of dependent origination. This text is celebrated for its deep exploration of how all phenomena arise in dependence on causes and conditions, a central concept in Buddhist philosophy that reveals the interdependent nature of reality.
In this text, Tsongkhapa praises the Buddha’s insight into dependent arising, showing how understanding this principle can lead to the cessation of suffering and the cultivation of wisdom and compassion. “Praise to Dependent Arising,” translated by Thubten Jinpa, remains a crucial work for those seeking a deeper understanding of interconnectedness and the nature of existence.
