aci 5: How Karma Works

The Treasure House of Higher Knowledge is the great root text composed by Master Vasubandhu.  In Asian Classics Institute’s How Karma Works, we will dive into this treasure house with guidance from Gyalwa Gendun Drup's great introductory commentary, Light on the Path to Freedom.
Perhaps you have noticed that various religious and spiritual paths are in agreement that we should not harm others, and we should treat others as we would like to be treated. This golden rule is commonly understood, but it seems that our life experiences quite often demonstrate the opposite. Why is this so?
Through the 10 classes of ACI 5 you will learn about the inner workings of karma and the significance of understanding the principles of how karma functions to use them to succeed in life and on the spiritual path.

In ACI 5 you will:

  • Understand what the word karma really means

  • Learn how things exist

  • Hear about how our world functions

  • Be exposed to how karma works in this world

  • Learn the basic types of karma- learn about good, bad and neutral deeds

  • Hear ideas about where suffering in this world comes from

  • Start taking personal responsibility for your world

ACI 5 is a theoretical foundation of all ACI courses. It offers a clear and comprehensive description of karma and its aspects and implications. The course is practical and the knowledge that you will receive in the classes can be immediately applied in your life to make it better.

Would you like to learn how this world functions? In ACI 5 you will receive explanations and theoretical foundations, and you will learn how to influence your mind and actions to achieve the best possible outcome.
