Thank you so much for these teachings and many big sadhus for everyone who has made these sessions possible. Just want to highlight the table at 1.37.00->, it was especially helpful for me.
Sometimes along while ago, I thought Dependent Origination could be added to the Pali sutta later. But the consistency of the Pali Suttas convince me otherwise. It is profound and seemingly complicated because the phenomenon and experience of Dukkha is complicated (like a very entangled knot) which is why the Buddha had this powerful and incredible insight onto this phenomenon which he realised under the Bodhi tree. The Dependent Origination is the second and third noble truth (Dependent Cessation) indeed in details. Sadhu.
Hope I am interpreting correctly: My understanding of the answer to the question on why birth is not at the start is that the "birth" in dependant origination refers to "conception": beginning existence of this life so the stages we experience in this life affects our karmic re-"birth". Hence "birth" is at the end, kick-starting another cycle of dependent origination.
A different interpretation of the 12 factors is given by Bhante Punnaji who says, they are parts of the process of perception, which can be watched after coming out of 4th jhana. Sounds interesting, but maybe is not in line with the original texts.
I wish Ajahn Brahmali had taken the workshop. It is v difficult sitting thru these workshops when most of the stuff is very abstract and nontangible. People just want to understand core teachings. Lay people already struggle with time and one loses interest listening to Venerable Sunyo. No Disrespect to him but such a serious core teachings needs to be explained by a senior monk like Ajahn Brahmali. This is one one of my numerous attempts to listen to these workshops and we just keep on going around in circles. And dependent origination shouldnot be for inexperienced. People need to be familar with basic teachings and practicing Buddhists before embarking on this topic. And few people just interrupt for the sake of asking questions. Really disappointed. Wish Ajahn Brahmali could take 3 to 4 solid classes and talk uninterrupted on the topic concerned
There is a gield of study called Behavioral Psychology that is the study of human behavior in different settings and is used by companies to influence our decision to buy products.
Thanks for sharing Dhamma 🙏🙏🙏 . Just thought of letting know according to my understanding of Buddha's teaching 'Sunyo' means 'anithya' (selfless) not empty
I can understand craving->rebirth->suffering in a way that it is what's happening every moment, but I think real physical birth was caused by someone elses craving not mine.
Dependent Origination is to be understood over three lives and it is a sequence with feedback loops with the same factors repeating and recurring (implied) in other sequences.

Excellent penguin joke.
I can understand
craving->rebirth->suffering
in a way that it is what's happening every moment, but I think real physical birth was caused by someone elses craving not mine.
