Khangser Rinpoche
On the anniversary of remembering Je Tsongkhapa, a great Tibetan scholar and yogi, Khangser Rinpoche, a revered teacher from Sera Jey monastic university, will give a teaching on Karma.
Karma signifies ‘action’, followed by reaction, and more broadly names the Universal Principle of Cause and Effect, action and reaction that govern life. According to this Principle one’s own deeds, words and thoughts produce one’s propensity and failure, happiness and misery.
The idea of one’s responsibility for the circumstances in life is a part of almost every system of beliefs. Ancient Greeks had their Nemesis or goddess of retributive justice: they also personified past, present and future as the three Moirai, or Spinners of Destiny. The New Testament says: “Whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.
We are the results of what we were and we will be the result of what we are. But at the same time karma is not pre-determinism, fatalism or accidentalism, as all these ideas lead to inaction and destroy motivation and human effort. These ideas undermine the important understanding that a human being can change for the better no matter what his or her past was.
Karma is continually ripening but it is also continually being generated by present actions, therefore it is possible to exercise free will to shape future karma.
"I am the owner of my karma. I inherit my karma. I am born of my karma. I am related to my karma. I live supported by my karma. Whatever karma I create, whether good or evil, that I shall inherit."
The day will start with the teaching and later there will be a puja for increasing prosperity.
