Understanding Karma: Actions and their Effects
In this free talk, Kyle Davis will speak on the topic of understanding Karma. In every day parlance, karma is often understood to mean what goes around comes around. But karma is vastly more complicated, also involving the entire web of individual, family, group, and national karma, as well as myriad other levels that we can not fully comprehend because of past and future lives, because of karma working out over immeasurable expanses of time, because of the true nature of the mind, and because of the lack of true existence of phenomena, including the self.
