  • Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Buddhist Philosophy of the Middle/Glossary  + (There are two sides to the very fundamentaThere are two sides to the very fundamental Madhyamaka concept of origination in dependence: 1. ''pratītyasamutpāda'', closely linked with ''śūnyatā'' "Emptiness" (for which in reasoning it supplies the hetu or evidence) and often in effect an expression for ultimate reality; and 2. the originating/being produced in dependence {''pratītyasamutpanna'') on causes and conditions (''hetu-pratyaya''), i.e., in conditionship, thus belonging to the level of the conditioned (''saṁskṛta'') and the Surface level of the relative or conventional (''saṃvṛti''), and having the quality of being empty (''śūnyatva''). Although closely linked with Emptiness (''śūnyatā''), origination in dependence is, nevertheless, not exactly co-extensive, and coterminous, with ''śūnyatā'' inasmuch as the latter term pertains to all entities (''bhāva'') and things (''dharma'') without exception—i.e., to unconditioned (''asaṃskṛta'') as well as to conditioned (''saṃskṛta'') things—, whereas to have originated in dependence {''pratītyasamutpanna'') applies to the conditioned, and the ''sāṃvṛta'', only; the two terms are therefore not strictly synonyms substitutable for each other in philosophical usage.
