Show Notes

Karma may be the most widely mentioned - and misunderstood - Buddhist concept outside Buddhist circles. You might, "Well, that's karma!" when someone more or less gets their comeuppance. This view of karma isn't entirely off base, but Buddhist karma is subtle and complex: It's about the state of your mind when you form an intention, perform an action, and experience the consequences, and how you can affect this process in order to avoid causing suffering for yourself and others.
