Episode 11 – Voluntarily Assuming the Appropriate Karma
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.

I listen to your podcast from Eguilles (tiny village near Marseille). I’m part of the “symphonie” group, SGI France.
Thank you for your inspiration!

Thank you very much for this great podcast!
This is a very interesting concept. I was practicing this great Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism for 13 year in the SGI of Spain.
An another point to change Karma quicker is to share our experiences during the process of this “change”. Sharing our determinations, goals and hope to win or change karma makes a big different. Because we are starting to encourage others to make the same. In meetings or person to person encourage other people.
Thank you for your inspiration!!
Best regards from Spain,

PD: I’m going to San Diego,CA soon and i can’t wait to go to a Buddhist meeting there… so exciting!!
