Weekend Retreat: The law of cause and effect

We are happy and excited that the 7th Kundol Rinpoche will visit Olmo Ling again this summer to share his deep knowledge of the Bon teachings. In this weekend Retreat with Kundol Rinpoche we will explore the law of cause and effect (or “karma”) according to the ancient Tibetan Bon tradition. “Karma” means action. The law of cause and effect describes the relationship between our past actions and the conditions of our present life. Rinpoche will explain how most of our actions as unawakened beings remain as karmic traces in our consciousness. He will explain the effect of these karmic traces or seeds and how they can manifest in our lives.

Understanding the law of cause and effect is essential for the practice of compassionate beings. This understanding enables us to realize how we can manifest our awakened potential by renouncing unwholesome actions and consciously cultivating wholesome actions for the benefit of all beings. Contemplating cause and effect is one of the four thoughts that turn the mind toward its essence: the contemplations of impermanence, the preciousness of human life, the suffering of cyclic existence, and cause and effect.
