About This Item
In this compelling, accessible introduction to the ancient science of karma, award
winning author Jeffrey Armstrong explores reincarnation, the deeper mysteries of
the soul, the laws of nature, and the ways in which cause and effect control our
lives.
Karma, from the Sanskrit, means “to do.” Karma is simply the golden rule: what you
give out is what you receive. Jeffrey Armstrong introduces the science of karma,
reincarnation and the ways in which cause and effect control our lives. Individuals
go through certain processes and accompanying experiences throughout their
lives, which they have chosen, and are based on the results of their own creation.
Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; it simply deals
with what is brought on by the purposeful action of devas, or divine beings. The
“Law of Karma” is central in Hinduism, Ayyavazhi, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism
(religions born in Nepal and India). Understanding karma broadens our spiritual
wisdom and reveals the profound interconnectedness of all life. Karma is part of
the Mandala Wisdom Library.
The Mandala Wisdom Library introduces the ancient wisdom traditions of the East
as practical tools for creating harmony and stability in today’s fast-paced world.
Topics such as meditation, yoga, reincarnation and sexuality are presented in
accessible, popular and visually compelling volumes for today’s "metro-spiritual"
lifestyles.
Jeffrey Armstrong is a scholar of the Eastern teachings including Vedanta, Raja
Yoga, Tantra, Mantra, and Martial Arts. He’s an international speaker and author.
He has degrees in Psychology, Comparative Religions, and Literature and lives in
Vancouver, BC.
