Karma is often defined as a religious concept but transcends the normal perception of a religion. In actuality, it is a profound definition of reality based on the laws of cause and effect that Lord Buddha set forth 2500 years ago. In Karma and Its Relations to Vows, Rinpoche explains how important it is to understand this basic premise of karma for transforming our body, speech and mind, before seeking profound higher teachings and initiations. From this detailed insight into karma, he then explains the vital role that vows play in helping us to break our slavery to karma.
