Is our karma set in stone? Eastern perspectives on our capacity to make decisions.

Is karma the same as destiny? Does this doctrine presuppose a deterministic worldview or is it predicated on free will? If there is an afterlife, is our conditions there a result of our karma? The doctrines of karma and rebirth are hallmarks of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religions of South Asia. In our modern globalized world, these concepts are increasingly becoming a component of the western mindset. To what extent is secular western society reinterpreting Eastern ideas based on our own Judeo-Christian and Muslim biases?

The presentation ends around 8:30 but the exchange of ideas continues while we share complimentary snacks and beverages.
