Many thanks for your reply to the message about pa.ticca samuppaada
posted by A. Siddhartha. Could you provide any references in the Pali
canon for the view that there are some dhammas (you mention the
lokuttara cittas) which are not subject to pa.ticca samuppaada? I am
investigating this area at present, and hence my interest. By way of
contrast, I would mention that in the Upanisa Sutta (Sa.myutta Nikaya
12:23) dhammas from pamojja to aasavakhaayañaana are said to arise in
a causally conditioned sequence, and Bhikkhu Bodhi in his essay
'Transcendental Dependent Arising', concerned with this sutta, refers
to the Nettipakarana for the phrase 'lokuttara pa.ticca samuppaada'. I
have not looked up this reference yet, but I thought I would ask you
about any references you might know of while the message is relatively
new here.
