Understanding Karma, action and volition with Bhante Jag
A public talk and guided meditation on "Emptiness" by Bhante Jag
Bhante Jag, or as he prefers to call himself "Monk Jag", is an Australian-born monk, residing principally in Victoria. He is one of the two co-founding monks of the Newbury Buddhist Monastery. He has practiced in the Burmese and Thai Theravada traditions, and has a particular interest in the Buddhist scriptures and monastic rules of conduct.
Drawing on the scriptures, Bhante Jag will be exploring in this talk the Power of Intention, and the relationship between Karma, action and volition. Karma is often misunderstood - does it mean the fruits of one's action or action itself? What role does intention or volition play in our actions? Find out more at this insightful talk.
