This talk will provide a brief introduction to these powerful teachings. Join us for a community gathering with vegetarian appetizers and mocktails to start the evening.
Buddha's teachings on karma explain the relationship between our mind, our actions, and our experiences. Understanding how karma functions puts us in control of our life. We can learn to transform, purify, and avoid negativity, thereby creating the lasting happiness we wish for.
