Saturday, 29th August, 8pm AEST 
Saturday Dharma Talk/Video

Dear COS Family.

You are warmly invited to another nourishing Saturday Sangha for a Dharma Talk/video presented by Tony with Ling offering the Tech Support.

​

Tony will offer a short Dharma Talk followed by all sangha sharing on the question: "Has your study and practice of the Insight That Brings Us to the Other Shore changed how you look at your self and the world around you?" 

​

Our theme for August 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Understanding the Sutra: Verse 6:
The Twelve Links of Interdependent Arising
And their Extinction
Are also not separate self-entities

​

Once again we meet Thay making corrections to known teachings. He presented his re-translation of the Sutra in 2014 but his commentary in his book,

The Other Shore, wasn’t published until around 2017 In that interim he has re-thought the teachings of the Eighteen Realms of Phenomena because he has proposed Five Links to replace the Twelve and states that because they are not separate self-entities if there is the extinction of one link there is the extinction of all .
