Karma: The Law of Cause and Effect

From Zen Community of Oregon Dharma Talks Zen Community of Oregon

Karma in Sanskrit, or Kamma in Pali, is the traditional Buddhist term for cause and effect. Having some understanding of cause and effect is a necessary foundation for spiritual practice. Cause and effect operates on many levels, ranging from the explicit and linear to the subtle, complex, and nonlinear. Hogen Bays, Roshi - 5/3/20 - Great Vow Zen Monastery
