Understanding Reality with Noah Levine
Feb 09, 2026
We’ve explored the cause of suffering and the end of suffering, and now the path itself begins with understanding. The first factor of the Eightfold Path points directly to karma—cause and effect—and the consequences of our actions. Every intention, every act of generosity or anger, kindness or judgment, is shaping the conditions of our lives.
What do you think about karma? What do you believe about the consequences of your actions? Good or bad… Is karma on your radar?
