Exploring Dependent Co-Arising

his Tuesday
Our Guiding Teacher Emeritus,
Doug Kraft,
Will Lead our Discussion Centering on 
Dependent Co-arising
(aka Dependent Origination) (aka Paticcasamuppāda)

which "… is central to Buddhism and makes it relatively unique. It describes how everything is
so embedded in a vast network of dependencies and nothing has a totally independent
essence. Too many explanations just list a bunch of links without looking at what’s
behind it all (and makes it sound overly fussy at the same time.)
This evening we’ll discuss why it is both nuanced and obvious once you get the hang of it. We’ll also look at how it shows itself in meditation and daily living.
If you’d like an advanced peek, you can find it described in my book, Befriending the Mind, chapters 8, 9, and 10. Free pdfs of those chapters can be found on-line here:
