Change your life and free yourself from suffering through an understanding of this fundamental concept of Buddhist thought. The Buddha described reality in terms of Dependent Origination – that everything we experience exists only in dependence upon other causes and conditions. This insight led Buddha to enlightenment and can change our life and free us from suffering. Dr. Sparham helps us understand this fundamental aspect of Buddhist thought. By donation | ||
