Perhaps we are gaining the attention of the Mahayana Buddhists, then, looking perhaps, for something new.
Not sure what you mean specifically by new, but if the perception here is that dependent arising is new to Mahayana Buddhism, then know that's not the case at all. Neither Lex nor I have expressed here anything new nor are we claiming to. Its very well documented and taught for centuries now. And in Mahayana particularly its well-known. And I'm sure they discuss this extensively among their schools. No need to come here, lol.
