Ignorance, karmic formation, consciousness, name and form, six sense organs, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, rebirth, old age and dying. These are the Twelve Links of Dependent Arising, Buddha Shakyamuni’s teachings on how phenomena originate and their dependence on each other.
Lama Michel Rinpoche explains dependent origination, fundamental to understanding the continuity of the mind as well as profound concepts such as karma and emptiness, with great clarity during this weekend course given at the Albagnano Healing Meditation Center, Italy in the spring of 2012. The teachings are available also in Italian.
