A series of talks on the relationship between the two central Buddhist concepts of karma (kamma) and mindfulness (sati). The talks show how the Buddha’s teachings on kamma—far from being irrelevant to the practice of mindfulness—actually provide the essential ground for understanding how mindfulness best functions in developing the mind for the purpose of putting an end to suffering and stress. The series of talks was given on an eight-day retreat at Le Refuge, a Buddhist group located in Auriol, near Marseilles, France.
