Karma

with Teacher Ilene Hecht

“Although we normally wish to be happy all the time, even during sleep, we do not know how to do this”

       – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from “The Mirror of Dharma with Additions”

All of us wish to be happy and free from suffering all of the time. In fact, most of us expend a tremendous amount of time, effort and energy in a desperate attempt to make this wish a reality. Unfortunately, it seems that no matter how hard we try, we continue to suffer and we are no closer to happiness than we were before.

Buddha teaches us that we can reverse this sad situation by developing an understanding of Karma. Karma is a Sanskrit word that means “Action”. Simply put, Buddha’s teachings on Karma give us the knowledge of which actions to take in order to create our future happiness and which actions to avoid in order to prevent our future suffering. By meditating on these deeply profound teachings and putting them into practice we are actually creating the causes of future happiness for ourselves and all of our loved ones. By gaining conviction in the laws of Karma we can change our future!

Join us in this Sunday Summer series as we explore the impact that Karma has on our daily lives.
