How can we be happier and more at peace? The Buddha talked about many ways of achieving this, by understanding why we suffer and then finding a path to peace.

One set of guidelines offered by the Buddha to understand and achieve this is called Dependent Origination (Pali: paticca-samuppada).

We will explore this teaching through discussion and with handouts to see how it can help us understand how to achieve freedom from suffering.
