This spring we explore Karma: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and Why It Matters, by Traleg Kyabgon.

The Buddha’s teaching on karma is his compassionate explanation of the way things are: our thoughts and actions determine our future, and therefore we ourselves are largely responsible for the way our lives unfold. This supremely useful teaching is often ignored due to the misconceptions found in popular culture. Karma is not simple, as Traleg Kyabgon,  Rinpoche shows, and he lights the way to our clear understanding.

 Rinpoche cuts through the illusions we cling to about karma to show what it really is—the mechanics of why we suffer and how we can make the suffering end. He shows how a realistic appreciation of karma is fundamental to our practice, how it provides a foundation for a moral life, and how understanding it can have a transformative effect on the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
