Karma isn't magic, it's actually really practical. In Tibetan Buddhism, karma is defined as a movement of mind and what follows. The tradition explains that all aspects of our lives, including our thoughts and the world we live in come from these movements of mind. Every Buddhist practice from mantra to meditation is designed to create positive karma, with good outcomes and to mitigate negative karmas. This course is designed to assist students on their quest to understand the laws of karma, and how to apply them to their lives and daily practice.

This Course is based upon the Treasure House of Higher Knowledge (Abhidharma Kosha) by Master Vasubandhu (350 AD), along with its commentary by the First Dalai Lama.

Weekly 2-hr Teaching (Thursdays 7:30pm - 9:30pm)

About Our Teachers

Lead Teacher

Born and raised in Honolulu, Sachi has called New York City home since 2009. When she took her first yoga class in the East Village, she was searching for refuge from a stressed-out mind. She soon found there was a deep magic hidden in these ancient shapes. After years of pouring over Eastern philosophy books, Sachi discovered Three Jewels. There, she learned about the interconnectedness of Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism, and finally began to understand how Yoga really works. Sachi is a graduate of the Yoga Teacher Training and Meditation Teacher Training at Three Jewels. In 2021, she completed her study of the 18 Foundational Buddhist Courses through the Asian Classics Institute. In her yoga and meditation classes, Sachi creates a space for students to tap into their inner world for stillness, compassion, and insight. Outside of Three Jewels, you can find Sachi at a strategy firm counseling clients on how to shift perceptions and drive action through the effective use of language and behavioral science.

Lead Teacher

At an early age, John-Chris was drawn to Theology and the lives of saints, as well as unexplained phenomena, but eventually became disillusioned with religion. Later experiences with the practice of meditation, yoga asana and the study of dharma revived his dormant thirst for Truth, and he picked up where he left off all those years ago. In 2021, he completed his study of the 18 Foundational Buddhist Courses through the Asian Classics Institute. John-Chris is a graduate of the Meditation Teacher Training at Three Jewels, as well as the Meditation Mentorship. Born in New Jersey, John-Chris is of Peruvian descent. An attorney by profession, he strives to practice law with compassion, in service of others.
