Event Series Emptiness

Emptiness

Get an understanding of ultimate reality. Join us on two Thursdays when Venerable Robina Courtin grants us live teachings on Zoom, explaining ultimate wisdom in Tibetan Buddhism. WHEN: Thursdays, May 11 and 18, 7:00 – 8.30 pm CET WHERE: Online only LEVEL: For beginners and intermediate REGISTRATION: Please REGISTER HERE Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81839377063?pwd=b1ZSMlQ4MVJWYnp3L1drMUF2bVROQT09 Meeting ID: 818 3937 7063 Passcode: 609932 Emptiness and dependent arising are two sides of the same coin. Dependent arising is a logical analysis that triggers the conclusion: There’s no “I” from its own side like some entity frozen in time and space, and therefore the “I” is empty of existing from its own side. Emptiness is the conclusion, the ultimate wisdom, you come to, having thought about dependent arising. During these teachings Ven. Robina will help us understand how we easily end up with the either of two extremes of inherent existence or nihilism, and discuss how the mistaken view of a dualistic understanding of subject and object pervades our mind. Phenomena exist is in dependence upon their parts. There is a cup, but you won’t find cup apart from its parts. But we think there is, and our language cheats us. Our language is really tricky. It reinforces selfexistence. (Ven. Robina Courtin) Read more. About the Teacher Ven. Robina Courtin, Australian-born, has a powerhouse personality and has been a Buddhist nun for nearly 40 years.
