'''Nidāna''' (devanāgarī: निदान) is a [[Sanskrit]] and [[Pali]] word that means "cause, foundation, source or origin." In [[Buddhism]] the term is associated to the concept of dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda) that explains the existence of objects and phenomena as being due to a chain of 12 causes/effects called "nidānas."
