An understanding of these principles within Buddhism helps us guide our actions taking responsibility for our experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant. By generating a clear understanding about how karma works; the psychology of our actions, and presenting specific tools to accumulate the positive and remove negativity, students are given the strength and responsibility to deal with life most effectively and take control of their future.
