Interdependent Origination: Paṭiccasamuppāda

Would you like to look more closely at what makes you ‘you’ – how phenomena and perception arise? Then join us for a weekend of study of the wheel of dependent origination – a a powerful map for understanding consciousness.  This is a foundational philosophical doctrine shared by all schools of Buddhism. Recommended for students of all levels. 

Ask yourself – what makes up a human? Sure, there is form, body sensations, feelings, thoughts, ideas, consciousness and that awareness of being aware.  The 12 elements of the wheel of dependent origination teach us to look at the basic building blocks of the human being. The result is the downgoing of suffering and the upgoing of wisdom and compassion. 

This weekend of study focuses on a fundamental teaching shared by all schools of Buddhism. It is a highly recommended foundational perspective that has deep repercusions for how you see and experience your life, the body-mind continuum and the world around you.

The focus of buddha dharma is to become free of suffering. However there is necessary (sickness, old age, diseases, joint pain, babies) and unnecessary suffering (our lives, relationships) . if you look at the nature of suffering you see how nature pushes itself forward because of suffering. The purpose of the wheel of dependent origination is to help us ask “what is necessary and what isn’t”?

{Retrouvaille}

Thoughts below:

I wanted to go with Metanoia (spiritual conversion) for the title but Retrouvaille sounded thematically stronger and fitting. It means reunion between loved ones who were separated apart for a long time. :)

The flowers shown in one of the panels are:

Lady's thimble (harebell/bellflower) = grief, submission

Teasel (dipsacus) = misanthropy

Pheasant's eyes (adonis) = sorrowful memories, I cannot forget you

Morning bride (scabiosa) = I have lost all

If you also are able to catch the reference in the last page, I applaud you!! You get a cookie :)🍪

There are a million and nine reasons why I hate the "anakin has x personality disorder" takes (mostly because people treat it like it's textual fact and not just their fanon interpretations), but by far the thing I hate most about them is like 70-80% of the time the "evidence" for it (no matter the disorder whatever the armchair psychologist pulled out of the hat this week) always seems to be "Anakin gets angry sometimes"

Ed knows the scent of Izzy's rot because it is their rot.

The decay been growing in them both for decades, and finally, their sloughed hearts have mixed together into necrotic sludge.

The thing about Ed and Stede is. Stede is the only one to ever really see him as a person. To treat him as an equal and to enter a space of play with him. Piracy was so much of a game to Ed. Yes it made sense because Ed could be ruthless, but it was a game. A place to experience some freedoms and childhood he never had. Stede played with him in the way he’d been craving. He’s honest and childish and most importantly fun. Ed has the preconceived notions of how he’s meant to act for certain people and he plays into it when he feels their affection fading, but then he sees how much Stede really offers him the safety and comfort he’s always wanted and only with the expectations that Ed is only himself and nothing more or less than that. And then Stede abandons him and Ed’s this scared little kid again lashing out.

They’ve done just such a fantastic job with writing Ed because that is everything we’re seeing. We’re seeing Ed lose his safe place and games and love and genuine affection with no intentions other than to love him. And he’s this scared little kid playing up big and strong and angry because that’s what’s expected and because he wants everyone to feel as horrid inside as he does. He’s lost everything and so they should lose it all too. Lose all the fun and play of being pirates and rot along side him or kill him because he can’t admit the desire he has to it to himself.

He’s a grown man, but he was never a kid so he can’t really be the grown person he should be. He can’t rationalize and when people point that out they point out how he never really stopped being that kid. and he panics. because if there’s one thing he’ll never be in his own mind is that scared kid taken advantage of but oh Ed isn’t that exactly what you’ve always been for the sake of safety? Of people staying close? Of people not abandoning you?

There is a particular subgenre of post I keep seeing on this webbed site wherein people denigrate individualistic cultures but talk about collectivistic ones like they’re the absolute best thing to happen the world and have no flaws of any kind and I really have to wonder how many people making or reblogging those have actually had the opportunity to live in both

I did not realize the boy and the heron was the new ghibli film, I thought that short story where that boy leaves his disabled younger brother to die in a thunderstorm just went viral for no reason at all
