Understanding karma: Creating your own destiny

When we find ourselves immersed in problems, we often ask: Why me? But do we have an answer to that question? Do we feel unlucky? Do we feel that we have been dealt an unfair hand?

Buddha’s teachings on the law of karma gives us a clear and practical explanation on why things happen the way they do, and how we can begin to change our experiences from not so great to fantastic. Or at the very least, better. Rather than seeking happiness, we learn to create it. Rather than running from unhappiness, we learn to abandon its causes. Understanding karma puts us in the driver’s seat of our own life.

In this course, Buddhist Nun Kelsang Oden will explore how by using the law of karma we can change our experience of the present, heal the past, and create a more fortunate future.

The Teacher

This half day meditation course will be led by Kadampa Buddhist Nun, Kelsang Oden.

Oden is a modern Buddhist nun who has years of experience and presents meditation and Buddha’s teachings in a practical, kind-hearted and inspirational way.
