Hi T.B. I have spoken about karma quite a bit of late lol. So please forgive me If I just paste a few quotes that I resonate with. :smile: My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand. ~Thich Nhat Hanh According to the karma of past actions, one's destiny unfolds, even though everyone wants to be so lucky. ~Sri Guru Granth Sahib Men are not punished for their sins, but by them. ~Elbert Hubbard There are the waves and there is the wind, seen and unseen forces. Everyone has these same elements in their lives, the seen and unseen, karma and free will. ~Kuan Yin Like gravity, karma is so basic we often don't even notice it. ~Sakyong Mipham There is a destiny that makes us brothers: none goes his way alone, All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. ~Edwin Markham Belief in karma ought to make the life pure, strong, serene, and glad. Only our own deeds can hinder us; only our own will can fetter us. Once let men recognize this truth, and the hour of their liberation has struck. Nature cannot enslave the soul that by wisdom has gained power and uses both in love. ~Annie Besant x daz x |
Beautiful quotes. Thanks for posting.
Thoughtbroadcaster...many traditions say you watch your own karma cam after every life...you review your life's thoughts, actions, everything. I've already had a taste of it...sort of terrifying and shame filled at the same time...because I did really bad stuff? no...just because I'm not perfect and I have become increasing aware that I still have so far to go (!)...LOL...all we can do is try our hardest to become more aware of right intent, right speech, and right action. For me, right speech is probably the hardest...LOL...have tried very hard to curse less and become more respectful :)...but right action can also be HARD...LOL...as we are pushed to stretch ourselves to forgive & let go throughout our lives...and also to open up our hearts, and trust. Peace, 7L |
Karma is LAW, and thus no escape, it must be paid!
Grace is a LAW which transcends Karma, it must be extended in order to transcend the LAW of Karma. Grace will change everything and you will have to change with it....... |

Karma certainly isn't some kind of cosmic punishment system . I like what a western Buddhist Mahayana teacher called Ken Mcleod has to say in some short articles about it here -

Furthermore, the great Theravada teacher Ajahn Buddhadasa said of Karma: Quote:

Some say Karma doesn't happen anymore from past lives I agree.
however I agree and believe that Karma can happen from your life right now IE you treat your employees like pooh then karma will kick you up the butt. Just my opinion Spiritlite. |
I personally feel you will not escape karma.. Karma keeps us on our toes.. we are quick to act but, karma helps us to understand what if felt like when we did it to someone else.. (lol)
