“What Dependent Arising describes is the interwoven nature of existence. Nothing is alone. Nothing stands independently. Nothing is separate. Everything is affecting everything else. We are being affected by so many conditions in every moment. And in turn we are affecting everything around us.” - Christina Feldman

What causes fire?

The Dependent Origination in Buddhism
Dr. (Mrs.) Bela Bhattacharya

[@martingisser273]

The condition is fuel (firewood), the cause is fire, and the fire continues causing itself (producing burnable pyrolysis gas, smoke, by its heat from the fuel) until the fuel is burnt. Thus fire has a degree of own causation (svabhava). I call that HALFEMPTINESS. -- A more complex example of halfemptiness are living organisms, where the "most non-empty" ones are chemoautotrophic bacteria, a pillar of the foodchain on which higher life depends, becoming "emptier" with complexity and dependencies, until the circle dance of emptiness and non-emptiness closes to the planetary Gaia system, which for all practical purposes can be seen as an own-being again.
