Revise: Buddhist Key ConceptsPratitya refers to dependent arising, the teaching also called pratityasamutpada or paticcasamuppada. Experiences arise because of causes and conditions; they do not exist independently. When the conditions sustaining a process cease, that process can cease too.
Pratitya is dependent arising, not a separate type of meditation. Apply it by explaining how suffering depends on conditions and how changing those conditions can reduce it.
