Ep. 173 – Understanding Karma & Samsara
Insight Hour with Joseph Goldstein
The Law of Karma Governs the Unfolding of This Empty Process
The law of karma governs the unfolding of this empty process. Although everything is empty and devoid of self, it does not mean that actions do not matter. Phenomena are insubstantial and empty of self, but they still unfold lawfully. The law of karma is one of the laws that govern this empty process.

The Dalai Lama explains that while perceiving the ultimate truth of emptiness, conventional truth and the law of karma still operate. Therefore, actions have consequences even in the understanding of emptiness.
