Karma & Rebirth Workshop 1: Myth-busting
Introduction
Of all the Buddha’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 we’re going to clear away a bunch of preconceptions that commonly give rise to confusions. Get your beginner’s mind ready, and prepare to have your beliefs challenged.
Please do not forget to read and contribute to the 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 Buddha’s teachings on karma, by Bhikkhu Bodhi and Bhante Dhammika.
