SUMMARY:Meditation and Dharma Talk with Jokai Blackwell
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Views of Dependent Origination\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Sundays in October we will introduce one of the most profound teachings in Buddhism\, Paticcasamuppada—traditionally translated as “dependent origination” or the principle of conditionality. \nThe Principle of Dependent Origination states that all dharmas (phenomena) arise in dependence upon other dharmas: “If this exists\, that exists; if this ceases to exist\, that also ceases to exist”. The basic principle is that all things (dharmas\, phenomena\, principles) arise in dependence upon other things. \nDependent origination can be contrasted with the classic Western concept of causation in which an action by one thing is said to cause a change in another thing. Dependent origination instead views the change as being caused by many factors\, not just one or even a few. \nThe importance of a full understanding of the workings of causality is that it leads to the breaking of the bonds of karma and an end to the cycle of rebirth. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this weekly meeting and teaching. Everyone is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere will be time for meditation\, a dharma (teaching) talk by one of our regular or guest teachers\, and time for your comments and questions. \n\n\n\nCost: Donation basis\, there is no charge to participate.

DESCRIPTION:Topic: Views of Dependent Origination\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Sundays in October we will introduce one of the most profound teachings in Buddhism\, Paticcasamuppada—traditionally translated as “dependent origination” or the principle of conditionality. \nThe Principle of Dependent Origination states that all dharmas (phenomena) arise in dependence upon other dharmas: “If this exists\, that exists; if this ceases to exist\, that also ceases to exist”. The basic principle is that all things (dharmas\, phenomena\, principles) arise in dependence upon other things. \nDependent origination can be contrasted with the classic Western concept of causation in which an action by one thing is said to cause a change in another thing. Dependent origination instead views the change as being caused by many factors\, not just one or even a few. \nThe importance of a full understanding of the workings of causality is that it leads to the breaking of the bonds of karma and an end to the cycle of rebirth. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this weekly meeting and teaching. Everyone is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere will be time for meditation\, a dharma (teaching) talk by one of our regular or guest teachers\, and time for your comments and questions. \n\n\n\nCost: Donation basis\, there is no charge to participate. Our center and teachers are supported by your generosity. Please give from your ability and heart. \n\n\n\nAbout the Teacher: bio \n\n\n\nPlease subscribe to our mailing list for instructions on joining this online event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
