To: A. Siddharta,

This refers to your question: "Could someone tell me if there is a formulation saying "Everything
arises dependent on conditions", for example, like "sabbE dhammA paTichcha samuppanna" in the Canon."
..................
I am not aware of a formulation like "sabbE dhammA ..." but there is the formulation "sabbe dhammaa anattaati"
Anatta implies that they are all pa.ticca samuppanna.
It is also necessary to understand the difference between "pa.ticcasamuppanna dhammaa" and "pa.ticcasamuppaada". The first is: dependently-arisen dhammas; and the second is: dependent origination, "avijjaa-paccayaa ..." It explains the arising (samudaya) of the dukkhakkhanda (aggregate of dukkha) and its cessation (nirodha). So one can take the DO itself says "everything arises dependent on conditions."
In mahaahatthipadopamasutta, [MN i. 191] you get this "yo pa.ticcasamuppaada.m passati so dhamma.m passati" and viceversa. Thus pa.ticcasmuppaada equals dhamma.
