In this short video piece Bhante V discusses how the most important idea in Buddhism works.

This is what the Buddha came to teach. That everything arises due to a cause and that you can see it happen at each moment in your very own life.

Upon deep realization of this idea the meditator sees Nibbana and becomes free from the round of rebirths.

Dependent Origination is 12 links long. The most important ones are dealt with here. That is: 1.CONTACT with the sense object; 2.Experiencing a pleasant or unpleasant FEELING from that object; 3. Liking or Disliking that feeling-CRAVING-; 4. CLINGING or the thoughts about why you like or dislike it; 5. Habitual Tendencies which are what you tend to do about that type of sensation which leads to 6. Birth lamentation, grief, old age and death ETC

Through the meditation practice that Bhante Vimalaramsi teaches, he trains students to see this noble truth as the Buddha taught it.
