Liberative Dependent Origination: Supporting Awakening in the Mind and Heart
|
| The teaching on Liberative Dependent Origination describes a way that freedom happens in the mind and heart. This insight sequence can happen quickly in a moment, or gradually over time. As we understand how to support this natural and innate process, we can taste freedom and understand how to nurture the conditions for the sure heart’s release. This teaching is accessible to us on retreat, in daily life, and in the midst of the crises of our world, in support of wise action.
On this retreat we will practice with this process to become more familiar with recognizing and supporting it. We will include instruction, dharma talks, and practice talks with the teachers. |

Jeanne Corrigal
|
|
|
This talk celebrates the conditions that support the move from the Dependent Origination wheel of suffering to Liberative Dependent Arising. Faith can develop naturally, especially as we meet the hindrances with wisdom and begin to see the three insight themes. In this way, we can begin to taste liberation, even at this early stage in the 12 links.

Liberative Dependent Origination: Sukha and Samadhi
55:23
|
|
Jeanne Corrigal
|
|
|
The sukha of tranquility supports the mind in happiness and contentment, decreasing the mind's movement away from this moment, and thereby supporting the gathering of samadhi. The 5 jhanic factors also support the decrease in the hindrances and the deepening of samadhi. The pitfall of clinging to samadhi and also the role of samadhi in cultivating insight close the talk.
