North Cascades Buddhist Priory, 1999. Paperback. Very Good. 0x0x0. 49 page booklet, Wraps have minimally, binding tight, internally clean. This book is not meant to be an introduction to Buddhisttraining. The discussion presupposes that the reader has someexperience of training in meditation and the Precepts. Also, this is nota scholarly work. Buddhist teachings are only helpful to people insofaras they relate to the essential human need to which religion addressesitself. I tried never to wander from the awareness of this need inwriting the articles that make up this book....The teaching of Dependent Origination is a detailed explanationof the first and second of the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths: “Sufferingis intrinsic to existence” and “The cause of suffering is craving rootedin ignorance.” Out of the rich variety of our experience the teaching ofDependent Origination selects a few elements that are essential tospiritual training. Its intention is to show the necessary relationshipamong these elements. It shows us how our choices entailconsequences that are of great importance to us.
