Continuing our course on Karmic causes and results with Sarahni Stumpf. In part 2, we discuss the four ways karmic seeds ripen, and how to nullify the negative effects of unethical actions.
According to Buddhism, our ordinary conception of causation is inaccurate, or incomplete. Our ordinary conception of causation doesn’t explain why medicine helps sometimes but not others, or why exercise sometimes helps us stay healthy and sometimes leads to injury. Author Sarahni Stumpf addresses these questions in part 1 of The Real Causes of Health. She begins to outline a system of causation that is reliable—where causes always lead to predictable results.
