"The theory of dependent arising (paiicca-samuppada) seeks to understand the 
dynamic relationship between ignorance, the afflictions, and their ensuing 
actions, by analyzing the patterns through which they arise, persist, and pass 
away in dependence upon their supporting conditions. That is, the processes 
that perpetuate our conditioned existence are neither completely random nor 
completely determined; rather, they follow regular and discernable patterns of 
arising. It is these patterns that are expressed in the formula of dependent 
origination, an understanding of which was considered indispensable for 
reversing their deleterious consequences. The simplest expression of this 
arising in dependence on conditions is formulated as follows: 

      When this exists, that comes to be; with the arising of this, that 
arises. 
      When this does not exist, that does not come to be; with the cessation 
      of this, that ceases."
