Evolutionary Enlightenment and Key Mahayana Buddhist Teachings: Part 2, Dependent Origination
Download this episode (61 min)
Elizabeth Debold and Jeff Carreira continue with the second of their three-part series exploring certain key concepts of Mahayana Buddhism and their updated forms in the teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment. They discuss “dependent origination,” considered the essential realization of the Buddha's awakening. The Buddha realized that nothing in manifestation arises independently—that all that originates in time and space is dependent and interrelated. Andrew Cohen's teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment, focusing as it does on a collective awakening, emphasizes how interdependent we are and how everything we do has an effect on the whole. They explore the parallels and distinctions between the Buddhist concept of dependent origination and Andrew Cohen's teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment.
