The next series of teachings starting July 2nd, 2017 will be on Karmic Cause and Effect. Geshe la will describe the ten non-virtuous actions and give a detailed explanation on the relationship between the ten non-virtues and their karmic results on your life, what caused them, and how to stop them in the future. The ten non-virtues are:

From the Body:
1) taking life and its results
2) taking what is not given and its results
3) sexual misconduct and its result

Speech:
1) lying and its karmic results
2) sowing discord
3) harsh speech
4) idle gossip (or worthless chatter)

Mind:
1) covetousness,
2) ill will (or wishing harm on others)
3) wrong views
