This is the edited recording with annotations of the talk given by Sis Sylvia Bay on Sat, 8 August 2020 at Buddhist Fellowship 'Facebook Live'.
People of all religions are generally fixated about the genesis of the world or some theory behind existence of the world or that there must be a direct cause and effect. In this sharing of Aggañña Sutta DN 27, Sis Sylvia Bay explained that Dhamma is beyond that: there is no first cause, rather, every phenomena is conditionally arisen with craving as the foremost driving force. The sutta traces a point in time where beings are simple in form and their relationship with food; how over an unimaginable super long period of time, interaction without restraints with the environment transformed both beings and the environment; and how different groups of society emerged to maintain social order and stability. Regardless of the passage of time and changes, Dhamma remains the most important.
