René Feusi Saturday, May 11 – Sunday, May 12, 2024 10:00am – 4:30pm Join us for a transformative weekend with Venerable René Feusi as we explore the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination — a fundamental Buddhist teaching that delves into the interconnectedness of life and the cyclical nature of existence in samsara. The Twelve Links of Dependent Origination illustrate a chain of causes and effects, beginning with ignorance, which leads to mental formation and consciousness, and progresses through name and form, the six senses, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, and finally aging and death. This retreat offers a unique opportunity to understand these links and how contemplation of them can provide a pathway to liberation from the cycle of suffering. Venerable René will guide participants through a series of meditations, each building upon the last, to foster a deeper understanding of each link and its implications for our lives.
