A Beginner's Guide to the Law of Dependent Origination (Paṭicca‑Samuppāda): Introduction to the Mogok Sayadaw's DO Teaching Visual Aid Cycle Diagram Vol-I (English Edition)

Abstract This first volume teaches you to see Dependent Origination. Mogok Sayadaw’s Wheel turns a difficult idea into a picture you can read: four sections for past cause, present effect, present cause, and future effect—with simple similes that stick (an axis of taints, a hub of ignorance and craving, pillars of fabrications, and a chain of aging-and-death) . Step by step, you’ll learn where each of the twelve links lives, how the two truths sit over causes and effects, how the three rounds (defilement, action, result) keep life spinning, and where the exit opens. Read it around the rim, practice the point-name-move drills, and let the picture teach your mind what to notice at contact and feeling—so that later, when you learn to stop the spin, the map is already in your hands. As the canon says, “Who sees dependent origination sees the Dhamma.” This book helps you see it clearly, and remember it when it matters.
