Meditation should be a compulsory subject in Buddhist universities. In Theravāda Buddhism Pariyatti is the theoretical learning that is the foundation of all other learning processes. Without a proper theoretical foundation, no effective practices are possible and therefore no realization of the truth can be expected.

Introduction

In this paper I am going to briefly focus on how the teaching of the Dependent Origination (Paṭiccasamuppāda) can be applied in meditation practice. The Dependent Origination is mainly studied by theoreticians. Here I wish to draw your attention how this fundamental teaching may be used as a guide in our meditation practice.
