Dear Nina,

This is what I meant.
The famous expression under discussion is: "ya,m ki,~ncci samudayadhamma.m sabba.m ta.m nirodhadha dhamma.m". In dhammacakkappavattana sutta.
I understand it as: whatever samudayadhamma.m all that nirodhadhamm.m.
DC: How do you translate samudayadhamma? Is it 'arising'? If so then what happens to dhamma then?

> However, I feel samudayadhamma refers to the first noble truth and
> > nirodhadhamma. m to the the 3rd noble truth.

DC.> However, I feel samudayadhamma refers to the first noble truth and

> > nirodhadhamma. m to the the 3rd noble truth.

N: In this context, yes.
DC: Why 'in this context'? Are there contexts in which it is not true?
-----------
N: It can be said that arising is dukkha.
If so, what is the meaning of "dukkhakhandhassa samudayo hoti"?
