Free Public Talk: Dependent Arising and Emptinesss - Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro

Luminous Meditation

Dependent Arising and Emptinesss by Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro
This free event is open to public, seating is limited and RSVP required.
Dependent-arising and emptiness are two essential antidotes which are extremely powerful in reducing and eradicating sufferings. Dependent-arising, the middle way view that negates the two extremes of nihilism and eternalism, is regarded as the king of logics to prove emptiness. Khenpo's skillful teaching will make these profound Middle Way (Madhyamika) philosophy easy to understand and be applied to our daily life.

缘起性空
缘起和性空是佛教两个很根本的概念，也是极其强有力的对治和根除烦恼痛苦的解药。所谓缘起，也就是世间上没有独存性的东西，也没有常住不变的东西，一切都是因缘和合所生起，这种破除常见和断见的中道思想，被认为是证明空性的最有力的推理。慈诚罗珠堪布堪布高超的讲解会令深奥的中观空性理论被一般人也容易理解，并能运用到实际生活中。
