Learn the essential facts about the law of cause and effect in relation to actions and their results. Generate a clear understanding about how karma works. Discover effective tools to accumulate merit—the cause of happiness and success—and purify mistaken actions done in the past. Explore ways to become adept at dealing with life more effectively and thereby take control of our future.

It’s very simple. But what you have to know is from what source your actions come. Once you do, you’ll see that you are responsible for what you do; you can determine what you do and what happens to you. It’s more up to you than to your circumstances, friends, society or anything else outside you.

— Lama Thubten Yeshe, teaching on karma at Chenrezig Institute

There is no prerequisite for this course. It is not necessary to have taken any prior Discovering Buddhism modules. You are welcome to review past Discovering Buddhism sessions in the OCBC YouTube video archive.

This program is offered in collaboration with Land of Medicine Buddha.

Born in Scotland, in 1970, Venerable Angie Muir obtained a Bachelor's Degree in 1992. Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland and combined travelling with work in Asia for 3 years until in 1995 she felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and find her life path. Within a few months she “had the incredible fortune due to some previous karma” to discover Tibetan Buddhism, and meet her main spiritual teacher Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche (of almost 30 years) and become ordained.

Venerable Angie has been a Buddhist nun for over 25 years. During this time, she served at Lama Zopa Rinpoche's residences in the U.S. for 13 years. In addition to doing various personal retreats, she has offered service, teaching, and leading meditation at other FPMT centers.
