The law of Causation or  Dependent Arising.      After His Enlightenment under the Bodhi-tree at Buddhagaya, the  Buddha reflects on the law       of Dependent Origination (Paticca Samuppada). He ponders as to how  things come into being       due to past and present conditions to cause suffering. Next He muses  on the cessation of       these very things when their cause has been removed. Then he  reflects on both the arising       and the cessation of all things conditioned and inter dependent, in  the present, [/SIZE]<img src="http://www.beyondthenet.net/buddha/gallery/Plate10a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />                      [SIZE=-1]10. The Philosophy of change.      The Buddha teaches that all conditioned things are in a state of  flux or change, and thus       impermanent. The ever changing nature of both mind and matter proves  the insubstantiality       of life, and the instability of existence. Knowing this, Khema the  consort of King       Bimbisara avoided going to see the Buddha: for being very beautiful,  she was afraid the       Buddha would disparage her self-conscious awareness of her  loveliness. As she went into       his presence one day, the Buddha creates the illusion of a beautiful  young woman before       her, who gradually grows old before her very eyes and collapses at  the feet of the Master.       Alarmed and ashamed she realises the impermanence of the human body.[/SIZE]<img src="http://www.beyondthenet.net/buddha/gallery/Plate11a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />                      [SIZE=-1]11. Unsatisfactoriness of Life.      According to the Buddha, whatever is impermanent is subject to  suffering, and the world       rests on this basic factor of suffering (Dukkha). However, having  accepted this fact, He       goes on to teach man how to gain his release from all suffering. The  tragic story of       Patacara who loss her whole family within a matter of a single day  and night, points out       only too well how suffering besets the unsuspecting worlding. After  listening to the       Buddha she gains peace and sanctity. [/SIZE]</blockquote>
