The Twelve Links of Interdependent Origination (cont.)

by Lama Jigmé Namgyal

The Buddha taught that this phenomenal world follows the process of interdependent origination in which one action or event causes another event, which causes another event, and so on. Interdependent origination explains how the happiness and suffering in our present life is the result of our previous actions, and how this process proceeds through twelve links. 
Although on the ultimate level things are emptiness, without inherent existence, on the conventional or relative level things manifest because of each other. Or in other words, they depend upon each other, they originate one from another. Lama Jigmé will explain in a very practical and straightforward way the teachings on the Twelve Links of Interdependent Origination, which will help us to get a better understanding of the interdependence of the way things originate and their dependence on each other. 

This course is only offered to students who have attended the Monday class in the previous term (Winter 2022).
