The Beginner’s Guide
TO karma
Publishing by New World Library
Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma, which holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form — in this lifetime or a future one.
In The Beginner’s Guide to Karma, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine encourage readers to forget what they’ve heard about karma and look at the subject afresh. Delving into Buddhist scripture and tradition, the authors give a comprehensive overview that incorporates psychology, ethics, and metaphysics.
Using everyday language and real-life examples, they clear away myths, illustrate how karma works in daily life, and offer practices to build positive karma.
The Beginner’s Guide to Karma neatly sums up the Buddhist worldview and makes a compelling case for a way of being that nurtures compassion, joy, and inner peace in an uncertain world.

Refugee Support
We are all aware of the homeless situation facing all of our countries.
Although we may be inconvenienced in some manner from it, the real suffering is experienced by the homeless population.
To relieve their suffering, 100% of these donations go to purchasing and distributing poncho blankets to people on the streets during the winter, or clothing and food during other times of the year.
Homeless Support
We support many Tibetan refugees in Nepal or India. This includes sending funds for healthcare, ceremonies for when they die, and education for their children. And once again, 100% of these donations go to the refugees.
No amount is too small - $5-$10-$25-$50 etc. Thank you for helping us to reduce suffering.
