Karma & Real Estate: New Speaker Series by author James Hilgendorf

EL CERRITO, Calif. - Nov. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Karma.  What is it?  People, in general, associate it with something negative - Oh, that’s my karma.

Time after time, in his earlier years, author James Hilgendorf experienced failure with the various jobs he held.  He would do well to begin, then meet a wall of resistance that he could not get past, which ended up in his quitting the job. Eventually this same pattern came to a head in a large real estate transaction he was working on, and it was then that he really became aware of the deeper meaning of karma.

Karma shows up in our own life as patterns of behavior.  There are certain patterns in our life that keep repeating.  We try to change these patterns on the outside, but actually they are deeply held patterns of thought and action within us that keep producing the effects we experience on the outside - like a motion picture camera projecting a film onto a screen.

How to change these patterns?

This is the subject of the author's new series of talks.

Hilgendorf is a Buddhist, practicing Buddhism for over forty years with the Soka Gakkai International, the largest Buddhist lay organization in the world now, with 12,000,000 members in 192 countries and territories around the globe, and in his talk he shares how Buddhist insights helped him understand and tackle the problem he was experiencing. These insights can be applied to anyone with a problem area of their life that never seems to change.

James Hilgendorf is the author of “Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective”, as well as nine other non-fiction books.

Of “Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective”, one reviewer wrote:

“If I were to teach a basic college-level course in religion, philosophy, or metaphysics - call it Spirituality 101 - this book would be required reading.  In fact, it would be the first week’s assignment.  Having read all or parts of nearly a thousand books dealing with spiritual matters, I cannot recall another that so simply and effectively blends the fundamentals of religion and science.” - Michael E. Tymn, Journal of Religion and Psychical Research.

“A must-read!  I am serious when I say that reading James Hilgendorf’s ‘Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective’ was a life-changing experience.  It has changed the way I will live the rest of my life.” - Lisbeth Gant-Britton, author of “African American History” and UCLA adjunct professor in African-American Studies.

James Hilgendorf is available as a speaker for small or large groups and organizations worldwide, either in person or via Skype.  For more information on the author, visit his website at: http://www.jameshilgendorf.org
