Recorded at Insight Meditation Satsang

October 29, 2024
DESCRIPTION
Tonight at Satsang we keep going with the Heart Sūtra’s deconstruction of the Buddha’s core doctrines, and feel into the emptiness of Dependent Origination. We’ll look at the difference between cause and condition, and how our ideas about why things happen invariably fail to account for the complexity of relationships that define our complex system. We look at agency, and how our actions and words, along with those of others, weave together to give rise to the future.
