Friday 28th August 8pm AEST
Sitting and Walking Meditation
Dear COS Family.
You are warmly welcomed to join Daya, Julie and Sarah for another lovely Friday evening/day/morning depending upon where you are sitting
We will all enjoy a guided sitting meditation, followed by walking meditation, and then conclude with a Sutra Reading - ‘Store of Precious Virtues’ Prajnaparamita sutra
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 .
