RAINS RETREAT WITH DHIVAN: DEPENDENT ARISING AND THE PATH TO LIBERATION
1st – 8th Nov 2024

Pratītya-samutpāda or ‘dependent arising’ is the Buddha’s teaching about how everything we experience arises on causes and conditions, and ends with the ending of those same conditions. Dependent arising gives us a framework both for thinking about the ways in which suffering and unsatisfactoriness arises in life, but also about how we can give rise to the conditions for deepening wellbeing and liberating insight. In this retreat, Dhivan will share his years of study and practice with this teaching in a practical way, combining study and discussion with meditation and reflection.
