🕖 Time: 19:00
📍 Venue: Usada Bali
Usada Bali hosts Rio Helmi for a dharma perspective on Dependent Arising and Interconnectedness. This event will be followed by a Q & A with Rio. The event will take place in our second floor dining theater.
When we first encounter Buddhism we hear a lot of different truisms: “Nothing is permanent”, “nothing really exists”, “there is no self”, and so on.
The trouble with these so-called truisms is that they are misleading when they are taken out of context. As a result, many people get the impression that Buddhism is nihilistic, and its ultimate aim is make us feel completely detached from everything around us.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact Buddhism is all about engaging, engaging in an intelligent and wholesome way. In this talk, we will explore some basic Buddhist tenets that will shed light on this.
