Description

Although Dependent Origination (Paticcasamuppada) is often presented as a circle to which one is bound through lifetimes, the Buddha never presented this model. Instead, he referred to it as a ‘tangled skein’, a web and weave of conditions that bind the heart in the here and now. 

In this retreat we will explore texts and practices that penetrate the knots in this weave.
