This book is a practical, visual guide to Dependent Origination (paṭicca-samuppāda) and the Mogok teaching method. It unpacks the causal chain from **avijjā → saṅkhārā → viññāṇa → nāma-rūpa → saḷāyatana → phassa → vedanā → taṇhā → upādāna → bhava → jāti → jarāmaraṇa**, and shows how this cycle is interrupted through understanding and practice. The format is deliberately multimodal—each chapter blends concise exposition with diagrams, practice drills, and QR-linked resources (audio, video, slide decks, and prompt cards) so readers can see, hear, and rehearse key ideas. The doctrinal backbone follows the Buddha’s own analysis in **SN 12.2**: the forward sequence of arising and the reverse sequence of cessation, emphasizing both structure and the possibility of release.
To support different modes of learning, the book applies evidence-based multimedia principles: people learn better from well-designed combinations of words and pictures than from words alone. Care is taken to avoid overload and keep every figure purposeful, improving transfer from page to practice.
Finally, each chapter ends with teaching aids for classrooms and study circles—announcements, objectives, plans, assessments, and newsletters—generated with educator-focused tools so instructors can deploy the material immediately.
