Free Will and Karma

Do we choose the course of our lives, or is it divinely chosen for us? In this talk, Zuisei explores the age-old question of the relationship between pre-determination and free will using the support of the Buddha’s teachings coupled with wisdom from other spiritual and philosophical traditions.
Zuisei says that regardless of the cause and effects of our circumstances, we do have the ability to choose how we respond to what happens to us. Through cultivating awareness of our actions, we can be of benefit to ourselves and others—whether that’s in the present moment, or for lifetimes to come.
