What is Karma? Definition of the Law of Cause and Effect in Buddhism
Karma is a complex and often misunderstood concept in Buddhism. Karma means ‘action’ as well as the law of cause and effect. In this video I explain what karma is and how we can use it to empower ourselves and our lives so that we will only meet with favorable conditions and happiness, now and in the future. Karma also explains how we have become the person we are today and how we can transform our present-day difficulties into causes for future happiness and even enlightenment.
