Dharmic Awareness

Most of us are familiar with the concept of karma – the idea that our actions begin a cycle of cause and effect that eventually gets back to us. So, if you do good deeds, the positive waves of change you create will eventually come back to you as positive experiences. If you do bad deeds, eventually negative experiences will be your reward. Based on this simple explanation of the Law of Karma, it seems easy enough to have a stress-free, joyous life: just be a decent human being. But it rains on the good and bad alike, so maybe the whole idea of karma is wrong…or maybe it’s just not that simple.
