Dependent Origination
|
Dependent Origination (paţiccasamuppāda) is the Buddha's explanation of how states of existence come to be and how they condition each other, and understanding of which leads to awakening and the end of suffering.
During this weekend we will be investigating this essential teaching by contemplating the 12 links in the chain of Dependent Origination. According to these teachings, no beings or phenomena exist independently of each other. We will also reflect on this teaching as a tool to help us understand how our perceptions and thoughts of liking and disliking propel us into grasping our experience as ‘me’ and ‘mine’ which cause us much stress in our lives. The weekend will include periods of sitting and walking meditation as well as recitations, teachings and reflections on the theme. The retreat will begin on Friday, 10th April at 6.00p.m. and finish at 4.00 p.m. Sunday, 12th April. All meals will be vegetarian. |

Dana and ways to give
We believe no-one should feel unable to attend a retreat because of financial difficulties, and aim to offer subsidised places when possible. Retreatants who can afford it are therefore invited to make additional contributions, to enable us to offer subsidized places to those unable to afford the full cost of a retreat. Read more >>>
