Dependent Arising -
an exploration

Dependent Arising, or Dependent Origination, is the Buddha’s account of the principle of causality – the law of cause and effect, or action and consequence.
​
Everything that exists or happens is an outcome of the circumstances – the causes and conditions – that gave rise to it. This simple yet profound idea is a foundation of the great Buddhist insights of impermanence, emptiness, not self and karma, and understanding it fully supports Awakening, the deepest freedom of heart and mind.
​
In this workshop, a follow up to last year’s workshop on anatta (not self), we will use meditation, dyad (pairs) practice and small group discussion to explore Dependent Arising and what it means for us and our practice.
​
It is not necessary to have attended the previous year’s workshop, but prior insight meditation retreat experience and/or study of the Buddha’s teachings would be beneficial.
When: Sunday 17th June
Times: 10 am - 5 pm
Where: Benledi House, 186 Glebe Point Rd, Glebe (Cnr Wigram Rd)
​Cost: $50/$40 + dana
