Teaching on Tendrel (12 Links of Dependent Origination) (Sat, Aug 20, 2011 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm)

Lama Norlha Rinpoche will  be teaching on Tendrel, the Buddha’s teaching on cause and effect, in which he demonstrated how all situations arise through the coming together of causes and conditions. In particular, this refers to the twelve links in the chain of samsaric becoming. When the practitioner is able to break one of these links—for example, by overcoming ignorance or attachment—the entire cycle of suffering ceases and enlightenment is attained.
