The KARMA workshop illustrated how we continually create both positive and negative karma.  We do this with our actions of thought, word, and deed.  Our present circumstances are the result of past actions and our current activity leaves traces that will influence future situations.  Lama Yeshe offered many practices, including meditation, to positively impact our interactions with ourselves and the world around us.   The great thing about karma is that it can be purified.  We think of freedom as the ability to do and say anything.  Unfortunately most of these actions are based on habitual urges and impulses.  Freedom lies in every moment, when it arises.  It entails following our wisdom and inspiration instead of our current likes and dislikes.  Ultimate freedom comes when we are free of karma and can see things as they truly are, without our preconceptions.   At that point our actions will be totally spontaneous and our ability to benefit for ourselves and others will be limitless.
