Rebirth and Redeath with Ven. Rahula (video)


External Birth and Death (Dependent Origination, Part 1 of 2) with American Buddhist monk Ven. Rahula
(Buddhist Insights, Sept. 8, 2021) Dependent Origination (paṭicca-samuppāda) is how the Buddha describes in 12 links the process of causation.

OMG, it's a hippie's wild ride!
Dependent Origination [cause and effect, reason and result, karma and vipaka, intention and fruit, cetana and phala] leads to repeated birth and death in Saṁsāra.

Bhante Yogavacara Rāhula [author of the wild travel and party journal, the  heavy duty drug-abusing memoir One Night's Shelter: From Home to Homelessness, Autobiography of an American Buddhist Monk] explains how the causal sequence of paṭicca-samuppāda helps us understand the cycle of rebirth.
