Why Me? Understanding Karma
Half Day Course
@ Burnley KBC
Sunday 4 October, 10am – 1pm
In-person & Livestream
The law of karma, or actions and their effects explains how our past actions shape our present lives. By improving the quality of our actions, or karma, we create the causes for deep and stable happiness.
Buddha explained that every experience we have is caused by our own previous actions. Good actions leading to happiness and negative actions leading to unhappiness.
Understanding Karma leads us to take responsibility for our own actions and thus to avoid blaming others. Accepting that we have created the causes for our experiences encourages us to put energy into improving our current actions. If we improve our actions and the minds that motivate them then we will create positive causes in our mind and experience greater happiness in the future.
Our courses are a perfect way to both relax and develop internally. They are ideal for those who are new to meditation and those who would like to improve.
Refreshments are available in our World Peace Café during the course.
The cost of the Meditation Half Day Course is £16 (Monthly Members £5, FP Monthly Members £0).
