Even though both have similar karma and in the end they both have the same amount of good and bad karma.

I like this question very much! Thank you!
If two individuals are dying with the same karma then one would assume a similar inclination towards the process than polar extremes. However, it is asserted in "The Tibetan Book of the Dead: the book of liberation through understanding in the Between" that we as humans are given opportunities in the Between for favorable rebirths and even entry into nirvana independent of karma (both impersonal and personal karma).

Also, the objective is to transcend karma; not be bound to it. Additionally, most karma is impersonal, not personal. Also, karma is more like cause-and-effect than something that carries good or bad attributes. From this reference frame, it is something of an illusion. Yes? Transcending the illusion, gaining enlightenment, we are detached from karma.

I have not found any here in Chicago. Even Illinois Masonic hospital which is not catholic, would not listen to my Advance Directive. |
