Dep or v A

 Yes — there is something comparable to “dependent origination” in Advaita Vedanta, but it is understood very differently from the Buddhist doctrine of Pratityasamutpada.

In Buddhism

Dependent origination means:

all phenomena arise dependent on causes and conditions; nothing has independent existence.

This is tied to:

• impermanence,
• no-self (anatta),
• emptiness (śūnyatā).

In Advaita Vedanta

Advaita accepts a kind of empirical causation within the world, often explained through:

• Māyā (cosmic illusion/power),
• Adhyāsa (superimposition),
• Vivarta (apparent transformation).

The world appears through dependence on:

• ignorance (avidyā),
• mind,
• name-and-form (nāma-rūpa),
• and ultimately Adi Shankaracharya says it depends on Brahman as its substratum.

But unlike Buddhism, Advaita finally claims:

• there is an ultimate, unchanging reality: Brahman,
• causation itself belongs only to the empirical level (vyavahārika satya),
• from the highest standpoint (paramārthika satya), nothing is truly born or produced.

This is expressed in the doctrine of:

Ajātivāda (“non-origination”)

especially associated with Gaudapada.

A famous Advaitic statement:

“No creation, no dissolution, no bondage, no seeker, no liberated soul.”

So:

Buddhism	Advaita
Dependent origination is ultimate truth	Dependent causation is provisional appearance
No permanent self	Atman/Brahman alone is real
Everything is empty	World is mithyā (dependent appearance)
Reality is process/interdependence	Reality is nondual consciousness

So Advaita contains a relative-level notion similar to dependent origination, but its final metaphysics moves toward non-origination, not universal conditionality.
