Talk titled: "Dependent Origination, Awareness, and Time", given during the event "Meditation on Emptiness". Held at Gaia House, Devon on 2009-02-14.
Topics covered: emptiness/insight: dependent arising, mutual dependence, emptiness/insight: the nature of mind or awareness, practice: neither one nor many, emptiness of time, awakening: necessary elements for liberation, practice: diamond slivers analysis (nagarjuna), emptiness/insight: emptiness of impermanence, practice: mutual emptiness of consciousness and perception, emptiness of fabrication, unfabricated / snake eating its own tail, links melting
Teacher's note on suitability: please note that these talks are from a 4 week retreat for experienced meditators. the talks and meditations can be listened to in any order or individually, but as they progressively unfold different levels of understanding of emptiness, they will probably be more fully understood and the practices more easily developed if taken in series
