-------
N: Dhamma could here be 'nature' or 'law'. It is niyama, a fixed law
that what arises has to fall away.

In different contexts different ways of explaining.
--------

> N: It can be said that arising is dukkha.
> DC: If so, what is the meaning of "dukkhakhandhassa samudayo hoti"?

-------
N: It is dukkha that naama and ruupa arise at rebirth. To be freed
from this arising is best. That means the end to the cycle.
