Name: How Do We Infect the World with Love? by One Dharma Podcast
Duration: 21 min
Description: What is the way forward when the world seems so out of balance and so full of hatred? How do we instead stand up for love and infect the world with kindness? Lisa explores these questions, which arose after the Charlottesville 2017 march and shooting.

Karma is action in Buddhism, driven by intention. With practice we cultivate the ability to choose our response and our actions, internally and externally. We might think our intentions are good and so our actions will follow, but our intentions are often under the influence of strong conditioning that prevents us from living our choices. But with practice, we can find our way to greater freedom.

Karma, Choice And The Mind

In Joseph's first podcast for the Be Here Now Network he clearly brings to light the sometimes very difficult convoluted notion of emptiness.  As the high Lama Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche says,"When you recognize the empty selfless nature of phenomena the energy to bring about the good of others dawns uncontrived and effortless."

Joseph describes the wisdom factor of mind that is Right View and the function this understanding serves in illuminating both the causes, and the means for cessation, of suffering. Our actions are often rooted in the unwholesome thoughts that stem from a false view of the Self. Acting in a manner that serves and enhances the right view of non-self is the underlying context for all of our practice. It is the beginning and the end of the path, to understand the truth of Dukkha and abandon all of its causes.
