Lama Tsongkhapa (1357-1419) is renowned as one of the greatest scholar-saints that Tibet has ever produced. It is said that he spontaneously composed his brief poetic text, In Praise of Dependent Origination, on the very morning that he attained the clear realization of the profound unity of emptiness and dependent origination, which is the very essence of the Buddha’s Middle Way view.

In this weekend workshop, we will examine Tsongkhapa’s text as an aid to exploring the relationship between these two concepts – emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality, and dependent origination, the fact that phenomena do not exist independently from other factors – in order to deepen our own understanding of their complementary natures.
