What is karma?

A day of teaching exploring 'karma' - what it is, and what we can do about it.

Karma in Buddhism is often misunderstood as a form of cosmic justice where you have to lie in the bed you have made whilst what goes around comes around and you get to reap what you sow…

This view of karma as a locked-down, closed-loop system is a misinterpretation. Buddhism in fact teaches karma as perception and response where the root of karma is the misperceptions of the dualistic mind. Karma is a matter of habit; if we habitually act in certain ways we tend to view the world in corresponding ways, and all our experience is coloured by this view. We can change our karma - through changing our response - through aligning our perception with the non-dual state.
