Sunday 27 December we discussed the process and intent of the pursuit of Wisdom. How does one go about it? Why would one want to? How is it pertinent in daily living? We will use the Mahasaccaka Sutta as a jumping off point for our discussion. Here is an excerpt of our 1.5 hour long discourse. If you find it interesting you are welcome to join our next discourse.  Just register and you will received updates.

Sunday 20th December we discussed Dependent Origination and went into the concepts of "Whenever this is present, this is also present. Whenever this is absent, this is also absent." (Udana)
"From the arising of this, this arises.
From the cessation of this, this ceases to be.."(Udana) and how this can be applied for greater happiness in daily living.

Excerpt from Sunday Dec 13, when we discussed the Paṭiccasamuppāda, commonly translated as dependent origination, or dependent arising, a key doctrine of Buddhist philosophy which 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". We welcome you to listen.
