Karma: Understanding the Causes of Happiness
Meditation classes for everyone with modern Buddhist monk, Gen Kelsang Tabkay
Sundays in Columbia, 10:30am – 11:45am
It often feels confusing why certain things are happening and how it is we can create the life we really want. By understanding and meditating on karma, we can see how our actions shape our experiences and how we can lead a deeply fulfilling life.
Over four weeks, we’ll explore Buddha’s teachings on karma and discover how understanding this law of cause and effect can transform the way we think, speak, and act. You’ll leave each week with practical tools for creating more peace, connection, and happiness in daily life.
Everyone is welcome, whether you are new to meditation or have experience. Each class includes a teaching, a guided meditation, and time for discussion.
