Understanding Karma

A calm look at action and consequence — beyond superstition and beyond fatalism.

Karma is one of the most misunderstood words to travel outside India. It is neither a system of punishment nor an excuse for passivity.

At its simplest, karma is the recognition that action has consequence — and that the quality of our attention shapes the quality of our acts.

The tradition does not ask us to calculate outcomes, but to act with care and let go of the fruit. This is a discipline, practised daily.
