Dependent Origination is a concept in
Buddhist metaphysics where all things arise because of
dependent factors including the previous moment. Nothing is
totally independent. So anything that arises will one day
perish which means it is both impermanent and “empty”
(lacking substance). Hence one ought not to get attached to
or cling to things

Theravāda view
if suffering is real, the components of suffering, | i.e. “matter” & “mind” have to be equally real
39
Mahāyāna View-1 (Mādhyamaka or Śūnyavāda view)
“matter” and “mind” are both relative to, and interdependent. They cancel each other out and hence both are “empty”
40
Mahāyāna View-2 (Yogācāra or Vijñānavāda view)
“matter” is dependent on “mind” for its revelation, but “mind” is independent. Nirvāṇa is attained through meditation which done through the “mind”. Hence “mind” is ultimately real
