The New Acropolis branch in São José dos Campos-SP organized a philosophical café on “Dharma and Karma: the laws of the Universe” with the aim of engaging all attendees in this interesting topic. Young people interested in these two laws of nature participated in the discussion and raised important questions for our daily lives such as why suffering and pain exist. The dicsussion was guided by Prof. Poscídio Cavalcanti Júnior, who addressed the topic providing an overview of traditional teachings about the laws that govern the Universe and life in general.
