The concept of Pa?iccasamuppada is regarded as one of the most profound and subtle teachings imparted by the historical Buddha (563–483 BCE) since the inception of his teachings. In addition to its doctrinal record in the mainstream Buddhist languages of the Pali and Sanskrit traditions, the Buddhist concept of Pa?iccasamuppada has been developed by numerous scholars over 2600 years and has contributed to evolving doctrinal components in many dialects in South and Southeast Asia. Focusing on the Pali tradition and Nikaya manuscripts, this paper aims to clarify the origins of Pa?iccasamuppada, including its meaning, annotated translation, interpretation and doctrinal significance. Prior to both academics and practitioners, an in-depth study of this research reveals why and to what degree the Pali tradition values the idea of Pa?iccasamuppada as articulating its insight into how to attain the path of ultimate liberation from a Buddhist perspective.
