Retreat. Eifel, April 2019

Dependent origination as the door to emptiness.

All that we know as subject and object arises in dependence on other manifestations which are also dependent, and so on in all directions for ever. This is the play of the inseparability of emptiness and the creative effulgence of awareness.

We will look at the deconstructive freshness of the Heart Sutra and relate it to the view of dzogchen. The approach will be practical as we seek to uncover how we solidify illusion and give ourselves and others a hard time.
