Description

In this masterly lecture to an American conference audience, Sangharakshita reminds us of the basic conceptual formulation of the Buddha's enlightenment experience. The twelve negative and twelve positive nidanas ('links') represent two trends - reactive and progressive - within the same conditionality. Excerpted from the talk entitled The Twenty-Four Nidanas given as part of the series Two Lectures to a Conference on the Nature of Reality: Buddhism as Transformation, 1994.
