For any other noobs like myself, I stumbled on a follow-on here (Dependant Liberation). In it, Ajahn Brahmali says:
Dependent liberation starts […] where dependent origination ends
D.O. is mind-bending stuff. Prior to this course I hadn’t really twigged to how samsara/rebirth is an intrinsic component of Buddhism.
Ajahn @Brahmali speaks The Truth, even to kangaroos:
“Chocolate cake is a good reason to be reborn human”.
Three days after hearing it I’m still chuckling; I may well order a tee with this quote printed on it.
