What Is Karma?

Venerable Thubten Chodron gives a short talk and guides a meditation on the four characteristics of karma: that positive results come from constructive actions, a small cause can grow into a big result, if you don't create the cause you don't experience the result, and that karma is definite. By reflecting on how karma relates to our personal experience, we understand how cause and effect plays out in our lives and the importance of keeping good ethical conduct.

I can accept the principle of karma for myself and accept responsibility for my own actions, but I am troubled by images of mass suffering on the news at present. Thousands of people, including children, are undergoing appalling suffering, and it’s hard to imagine how they all created the causes for that.

Really interesting and explaining. Thank you for this awakening about karma🙏💫✨

An easy to understand starting point to learn about Karma. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽😌

Lovely explanation of karma for this relative novice. It’s beginning to make some sense. Thanks!
