In the seventh episode of our 8-part series, Michael explores the Buddha’s teachings on karma. Contrary to fate, karma is seen as the actions that define who we are. Drawing from key texts, Michael explains how karma is intertwined with our experience of interdependence. The Buddha emphasizes that our feelings, thoughts, and actions are shaped by conditions in the physical world, not by past lives or external fate. Clinging to these constructs causes suffering. Join us to uncover the profound implications of karma in our lives.
