Buddhism in Translation with MC Owens - Dependent Origination

Join us Every Sunday at 7 pm Pacific Time LIVE on Zoom! https://www.sfdharmacollective.org/ev... ______________________________ Support SFDC and MC Owens here: https://sfdharmacollective.org/donate Please indicate that the donation is for MC Owens! ______________________________ The focus of this class is Dependent Origination, aka pratītyasamutpāda, the answer to "Why is there anything?" MC traces this idea from the Buddha's time, through the arguments of the 18 schools of early Buddhism, to Nagarjuna's exposition of emptiness, and how these radical ideas apply to our lives. ______________________________ Every Sunday, we examine key Buddhist ideas and practices and explore major Buddhist schools and their diverse expressions. Through discussion and close reading, we consider what it means to translate not only texts, but traditions, grappling with the challenge of making sense of the many different Buddhisms that exist today. Bring your questions and curiosity to this open discussion of Buddhism in America (and beyond!) and its relevance to your everyday life. ☀️ Join us next time in real time on Zoom: https://events.humanitix.com/buddhism...
