Purifying our karma is one of the most beneficial activities we can do for ourselves. We all want to be happy and free from problems, but negativity in our mind attracts sickness and problems like magnets attract iron filings.

Guided Purification Retreat
Please join us on November 25-27 at KMC Washington for a Guided Purification Retreat.

We should train in this preliminary meditation until we gain some experience of it.
