जाति
Jāti
Birth / Arising into existence
生
Grammar 語法
feminine noun (i-stem): from jāyati (to be born)
Definition 釋義
The eleventh link of Dependent Origination — birth, conditioned by becoming (bhava). Jāti means not only literal birth into a new life but the arising of any new existential state or, in the deepest sense, the arising of identification: 'I am' consciousness arising in any moment. The Arahant declaration — 'Khīṇā jāti' (destroyed is birth) — signals the end of the entire process of Dependent Origination. Jāti conditions jarā-maraṇa (aging and death), the final link.
Canonical Example 典籍例句
Bhavapaccayā jāti; jātipaccayā jarāmaraṇaṃ.
With becoming as condition, birth [arises]; with birth as condition, aging-and-death [arises].
