Workshop 1

Karma & Rebirth Workshop 1: Myth-busting

Introduction

Of all the Buddhaā€™s teachings, kamma is one of the best known and at the same time one of the most misunderstood. So before presenting what the Buddha taught weā€™re going to clear away a bunch of preconceptions that commonly give rise to confusions. Get your beginnerā€™s mind ready, and prepare to have your beliefs challenged.

Please do not forget to read and contribute to theĀ discussions on the Karma & Rebirth course at SuttaCentral.

Readings

We are not supplying a list of suttas for this workshop, as we will be covering a whole range of different issues. Instead, here are some general summaries of the Buddhaā€™s teachings on karma, by Bhikkhu Bodhi and Bhante Dhammika.
