What is karma and how does it ripen? Keynote address at the autumn meeting of De Stichting Vrienden van het Boeddhisme, in Amsterdam, 15 November 2009. Although this talk has the same title as one of the lectures in the Leiden series, it is a completely different talk. The focus of this presentation is how someone with a Western background might incorporate Buddhist teachings into that Western framework.
