Why do we experience things as we do? Why do some people have to face the consequences of their actions and others seem to "get away with murder"? Do forces outside our control determine our fate or can we make meaningful choices about our lives?
These are fundamental questions. Through them we hope to find a way of living — a way that leads us to the most basic of human concerns, survival, happiness, and fulfillment.
The teaching of karma is one response to such questions. Properly understood, it does reveal a way of living that fosters balance, harmony, and wisdom. Misunderstood, however, it can become a justification for harm inflicted on ourselves, on others, on the world.
In this weekend retreat, we will explore the teaching of karma, experientially, through reflective meditation and contemplation. We will explore questions about life and what gets in the way of happiness and fulfillment. And we will explore ways to find balance, harmony, and wisdom — in our spiritual practice, in our family and social life, and in our work.
