Dependent Origination | 2009

In this talk, Ajahn Brahmali introduces and explains the concept of dependent origination (paṭicca samuppāda), one of the Buddha’s most profound and insightful teachings. Though often seen as complex, Ajahn Brahmali presents it in a way that is accessible, practical, and deeply relevant to spiritual practice.Dependent origination describes how suffering arises through a chain of cause-and-effect relationships. It shows that everything we experience is conditioned, nothing exists independently or permanently. This teaching is central to understanding the cycle of rebirth (saṃsāra) and how to break free from it.Recorded 2009-04-17-These talks by Ajahn Brahmali have been recorded and made available for free distribution by the Buddhist Society of Western Australia under the ⁠Creative Commons⁠ licence. ⁠You can support the Buddhist Society of Western Australia by pledging your support via their Ko-fi page.⁠
