WTF is Karma?

Karma is a word that is thrown around loosely in spiritual circles, but the topic rarely explored in depth. The concept of karma has a variety of subtle definitions and distinctions, depending on the tradition or vantage point you're approaching it from. The idea of karma goes well beyond just the notion of having "good karma" or "bad karma." Contemplation of cause and effect is not meant to lead to a nihilistic worldview, rather to inspire us to be active participants in life and yogic practice. If karma is mechanically fixed, if life is pre-determined, what the hell would be the point of practicing yoga and meditation? In this talk we discuss a variety of definitions concerning karma from several different traditions, including our own views on karma based in personal exploration and practice.
