About this episode
Noah Levine discusses the importance of intention in actions and its relation to karma in Buddhist teachings.
The path continues with intention—what’s behind our actions, not just the actions themselves. In the Buddhist teachings, karma is shaped by the motivation fueling what we do, whether it leads to suffering or to freedom. Learning to recognize and cultivate wise intention becomes central to the path. What is your intention? For your meditation? For your life aspiration? How do you think about the world?
