Relational Dharma is a personal vision, which was also researched and expressed through thesis work, that emerged through studies in consciousness, modern physics, and theoretical and experiential Buddhist study, as well as through my experiences and relationships with Buddhist teachers and their teachings. Relational Dharma is a conceptual and experiential interactive model of consciousness that is based on a contemporary re-envisioning of the Buddhist doctrine of paticca samuppada (dependent origination) as a means to liberation through human relationship.
