Does the effect make its cause?
Upvote:0
Only some effects cause it cause, such as sahajāta-cause, aññamañña-cause, nissaya-cause, etc., but some can not, such as pakatūpanissaya-cause, anantara-cause, etc.
See saṅghaha chapter 8.

When there is ignorance-touch (avijjā-phassa) the effect becomes cause and wandering-on get's on. When there is no avijjā-phassa the effect ends right there, here and now.
[Note: this is a gift of Dhamma, not thought for trade, stakes, exchanges or other gains subject toward decay and should be deleted if it's not giften to give in Dhammic conditions]

The cause is not dependant on the effect. The effect is dependant on the cause. The concept of Śūnyatā does not mean nothingness. It just means being empty of a self and being empty of satisfaction and being empty of permanence or stability.

Cause and effect are mutually dependent like father and son. If there is no son there is no father, and if no father then no son.
In this way Nagarjuna proves the non-existence of these things except as appearance/emptiness.
He explains that the cause cannot exist prior to the effect, the effect cannot exist prior to the cause and they cannot come into existence simultaneously. Ergo, it's all smoke and mirrors.
