This third session of our class and study program is one of the most insightful, useful and, pertinent to date. The class focuses on the five steps to creating our karma. Then we move on to the Wheel of Life, the where why and how we can be reborn in our lifetimes due to that karma of actions, thoughts, and speech. There are five parts that make up the karmic value of any action. When you become mindful of these you lessen the negative karma you create and gain insight into your actions, thoughts, and behavior. This process explains why some issues come up over and over again for us. The karmic consequences about our thought, and speech will also be discussed. Participants will understand how our collective karma shapes our homes, neighborhoods, cities, and so on. Buddhist cosmology has three realms of existence. Human beings inhabit. The Realm of Desire. The entire scope of our reality in this Realm of Desire can be found in a drawing called the Bhavcaka, or the Wheel of Life (the image above is of it). It was designed by the Buddha himself in order to help ordinary people understand his teachings. The Bhavacakra has four layers: The Three Poisons, Karma, The Six Realms we can incarnate in, and the Twelve Links of dependent origin. There will be special focus on how our karma and emotional states dictate which realm of rebirth is most likely.
