Exploring the Truths Series – Interdependence and Emptiness

Event description

The two sides of the "coin" of reality are interdependence (also known as dependent origination) and emptiness, according to Mahayana Buddhism. Interdependence describes the mutually dependent relationship between phenomena and the varied conditions that give rise to and are supportive of them. Emptiness, on the other hand, highlights the complete absence of any independent, self-supporting entity in this vast network of relationships. In this workshop we will go through several guided meditations that connect these seemingly abstract ideas to our present experience and offer practical ways to implement them in our life that will enhance our relationship with self and others.

All are welcome; no prerequisite required.

Each workshop consists of two sessions with a mixture of explanations, guided meditations and time for discussion or Q&A.

You can attend this class in person or live streamed.

Meet the Teacher: Wai Cheong Kok

Wai Cheong Kok is from Singapore. He has been teaching meditation and Buddhism since 1996, with a special interest in making available the benefits of meditation to a wider audience. 

From 2006-2015 and starting from 2020, he has served as a senior teacher at Vajrayana Institute, a Tibetan Buddhist Centre affiliated to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). 

After studying Dharma for several years, Wai Cheong set out to deepen his understanding of spiritual practice by completing the first 7-year Masters program in Advanced Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra at Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa in Italy from 1998-2004. This was followed by a four month solitary retreat in New Zealand.
