Morning: Tahn Pamutto reviews the idea of ‘Transcendent Dependent Origination’ which appears in the Upanissa Sutta, SN 12.23. The structure of this teaching mimics the 12-link structure of dependent origination but with a twist – it illuminates how liberation is not an isolated occurrence but is built upon a foundation of preceding causes.
Afternoon: For the afternoon session of the Dependent Trascendence daylong, Tahn Pamutto explores more of the different forms that this sequence takes place in the sutta’s. This includes a partial reading of the Upāli sutta, MN 56, where we see the layman Upāli guided through the steps of developing this dependent liberation right up to the fruit of Stream Entry.
