TALKS

Buddhist Ethics and Transforming One's Karma

In this talk,  Dharma Teacher Fred Eppsteiner speaks about the importance of being mindful of ones actions of body speech and mind.  He explains that the state of our minds and our lives are largely the product of our past activities, so the actions we take today are shaping our future. With that understanding, it becomes clear that if we want to create a favorable future with less suffering, then we need to begin with our actions in this moment.  In order to do that, we need to cultivate mindfulness and be aware of what we are doing, saying and thinking.  Then we can have the capacity to shift our actions from ones that support suffering to ones that support well-being.
