Ajahn Karuṇadhammo explains the role of kamma in the Buddha's teachings in contrast to both ancient and modern views on the topic. His talk is followed by a series of questions concerning random kamma, the role of intention, discerning kamma from the past, adjusting intention before acting, kamma from mental action, the effect of past lives, and how can I own kamma if there is no self? This talk was offered on the daylong retreat “Karma – Out of Our Control?” at Spirit Rock Mediation Center on September 6, 2015. Download File
