Q&A: Paramis, Mindfulness, Karma, and Enjoyment
Episode 296
Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description
This is an extemporaneous question-and-answer episode. Do you know the difference between a parami and a paramita? Do I still like to think of mindfulness as "undivided presence?" What about when Buddhists use the idea of karma as an excuse not to take compassionate action? Why can't our practice include more activities aimed at the cultivation of joy, creativity, and other positive experiences?
