Buddha In The Hood

Mark Hackman (SGI member from Torrance, CA) is interviewed by Wula Dawson (SGI member from the O.C. – Orange County, CA) on the topic of voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma.

“Voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma” is the Buddhist concept of transforming our own karma… a way of life in which we change karma into mission and  find meaning in all circumstances. We chose or made causes for our own particular life.  This concept empowers us as humans, or specifically as SGI members, to take responsibility for our situation and not complain and not be a victim.  When we understand that our karma is our own responsibility we will have no complaint.
