Understanding Karma
why always me?
1 March 2025
10:00am–1:00 pm
with Gen Kelsang Devi
In English with German translation
We all have to face undesirable situations. We often feel that life is unfair and feel frustrated and perhaps even depressed. No matter how hard we try, it often seems that we cannot shape life the way we want. The understanding of karma, the law of cause and effect, allows us to understand why things happen and gives us the tools to create the life we desire. It also helps us accept difficult experiences and encourages us to respond more constructively and positively.
This meditation workshop will explain the wisdom of karma, followed by guided meditations that will make a practical positive difference in our daily lives.
