Karma is the spiritual philosophy at the heart of Buddhism, Hinduism, and other religions of the Indian subcontinent and it can be a confusing concept. It is, simply put, the totality of everything we have done, are doing, and will do, in this life, and in past and future existences. Written for those just beginning their exploration of karmic thought, this deeply contemplative guide explodes the myths and explains karma’s true influence upon relationships, career, prosperity and health. Also, there are rituals to put ideas into practice, along with suggested meditations, a discussion of the 10 Positive Actions, and The Buddha’s eight-step guide to spiritual awakening.
Gill Farrer-Halls has been a practising Buddhist for many years. She is the author of many books on the subject including The World of the Dalai Lama, The Encyclopedia of Buddhist Wisdom and The Feminine Face of Buddhism. She has also written The Aromatherapy Bible, The Buddha Book and Spiritual Spa for Godsfield.
Farrer-Halls (The World of the Dalai Lama ; The Encyclopedia of Buddhist Wisdom ) has written an attractive book on the Buddhist law of karma. Karma, as she reminds us, means action: in operation, it is the sum of all our actions, past and to come, in this life and all our other lives. This simply written and heavily illustrated volume, a kind of coffee-table Buddhist guide, is also an intelligent introduction to the ins and outs of the ramifications of karma in our careers and love lives and points willing readers toward ways to heal karmic suffering and discover serenity. For most collections.
