Day 5: Dependent Origination – Kalimpong ’25

On Day 5 of the Kalimpong Retreat, we explored one of the Buddha’s most profound teachings — dependent origination (paticca samuppada) — through MN 38, the Greater Discourse on the Destruction of Craving. This talk unpacks how consciousness is not a fixed self, how suffering arises through a chain of conditions, and how the 6R practice lets us break free at any link.
