Mysticism: the direct cognition of a transcendent reality beyond the division of subject and object

Dependent Origination, everything, including the psychophysical compound that we call individual, exists only in relation to other beings and things and undergoes constant changes responding and reacting to them. There is a plural causality of all things whereby each thing arises in relation to all others, and can therefore be said to be conditioned by all others.

The Buddha often gave important pragmatic advice to his Lay followers on how to live a life of well-being and happiness.
