Ep. 173 – Understanding Karma & Samsara
Insight Hour with Joseph Goldstein
The Immediate Present Karma
Present karma is the degree to which present qualities of mind affect the outcome of what we want to accomplish. Unwholesome actions in the past result in this present moment of some kind of suffering and the wholesome ones bring about some kind of happiness. If a memory is coming up from some unwholesome action that we've done in the past, it very often brings a sense of remorse or maybe shame or regret. But if a memory comes up with some wholesome things we've done, it really can bring a sense of joy and delight and appreciation of ourselves in a good way. The arising of these past impressions is also a comic result.
