On this half-day Saturday course, we will learn about the law of cause and effect, or karma, and how the main cause of our suffering and problems arises from our harmful actions. Buddha taught powerful methods to purify our negative karma so that we don’t have to experience the future suffering it creates. In this course we’ll learn the basics of how to purify our own negative karma.
This course is appropriate for beginners - no experience necessary.
Everyone is welcome!
