Hi,
How does Bhante Nyananda explain the paticcasamuppada? I'd be very
interested in hearing a summary of what he says.
In any case, 'relate' probably doesn't mean to try to demonstrate
that the two texts say the same thing. Gombrich's project has been to
show how the Buddha's ideas were articulated in response to Brahmanic
thought.
thanks,
