AbstractPa[image omitted] icca samuppada (dependent arising) is the central philosophical principle of Buddhism, and is most commonly exemplified in the suttas in terms of the twelve nidanas. The ubiquitous interpretation of the twelve nidanas of pa[image omitted] icca samuppada as taking place over three lives, a religious doctrine explaining the rebirth process, is a commentarial development, not found in the suttas. Recent Theravadin exegetes Bhikkhu Buddhadasa and Na[image omitted] avīra Thera argue for an interpretation of the twelve nidanas of pa[image omitted] icca samuppada as taking place in the present moment, but Bhikkhu Bodhi disputes the claim that their interpretation is the Buddha's original meaning. Recent work by Vedic scholar Joanna Jurewicz, however, suggests that originally the twelve nidanas were a parody of Vedic cosmogony. This scholarship opens the way for renewed exegesis of pa[image omitted] icca samuppada liberated from Indian Buddhist metaphysics.
