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-II (English Edition)

The Wheel of Becoming — Vol. 2 Stream Entrance: From Viññāṇa to Vedanā (Present-Effect Literacy in the Mogok Method) Product description Volume 2 is your hands-on guide to reading the present-effect stream in Mogok Sayadaw’s visual system of Paṭicca-samuppāda. Building directly on the Cycle Diagram, this volume trains you to recognize how Link ③ Viññāṇa (consciousness) opens the stream and carries through ④ Nāma-rūpa → ⑤ Saḷāyatana → ⑥ Phassa → ⑦ Vedanā—the everyday flow you meet at the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Clear plates, classroom-ready drills, and short real-life labs turn canonical paccayā lines into practical seeing, moment by moment. Grounded in the Early Buddhist Texts cited throughout (e.g., “saṅkhārā-paccayā viññāṇaṃ; viññāṇa-paccayā nāma-rūpaṃ”; SN 12.1–2), the book keeps Mogok Sayadaw’s distinctive pedagogy front and center: a visual wheel, labeled connections, and simple arrow grammar that you can point-name-move around—until the pattern becomes second nature. By the end, you’ll be ready for Volume 3’s pivotal hand-off at C2 (Vedanā → Taṇhā). What’s inside Plates & Legends: Clean A4 diagrams with labels outside the rim; one overlay per plate for zero-clutter learning. Stream Literacy (③→④→⑤→⑥→⑦): Door maps, contact triads, and feeling orientation tied to daily experience. Guided Drills: “Point-Name-Move” laps, 30–90-second attention sprints, and micro-logs for quick feedback. Assessment Packs: T/F, fill-ins, matching, label-the-diagram, short scenarios, and reflection tickets. QR-Enabled Practice: Short audio prompts and classroom demos aligned to each plate. EBT Anchors: SN-style paccayā captions placed on the rim; references consolidated for quick checking. Who it’s for Beginners who want a reliable on-ramp, teachers who need visual, repeatable lessons, and practitioners aiming to stabilize present-moment literacy before tackling the C2 hinge. Why this book It makes conditionality visible and livable—the Mogok way: precise diagrams, everyday examples, and canonical lines you can trace in real time.
