| Some of us may be familiar with the Buddha’s teaching on the dependent co-arising of suffering (dukkha). This teaching is further expounded in the texts, where the Buddha describes the dependently co-arising nature of awakening, and the qualities that lead to it. These include: faith, gladness, joy, tranquility, pleasure, gatheredness, knowledge and vision, disenchantment, dispassion and release. On this retreat, for experienced practitioners, we explore and cultivate these conditions for freedom and awakening.Together we deepen our understanding of the possibilities they open up for our personal lives and the way that we engage with the world. |
