Troubleshooting Zen Study & Practice 6

This month on Troubleshooting Zen Study & Practice we have three more questions and answers:

If a baby is born disabled, is that because of bad Karma from a previous life?

How do I choose a good teacher?

What did the Buddha mean when he said there is no self?

(P.S. Ignore the voice that says this is Troubleshooting "number 5", it really is 6!)

…………………………………………

Subjects covered by this podcast include: The development of the principle of karma from Hinduism through to Buddhism; intrinsic and extrinsic meaning; Bodhidharma and Emperor Wu; the importance of affinity links between teacher and student and the basis for the Buddha’s teaching of ‘No-self’.
