Do you believe in Karma?

Sappa

I'm a Buddhist and the more I learn about Budhism the greater is my belief in Karma.
Do on to others and remain positive usually good things follow.

'Karma' is a mystical word/philosophy, not a scientific one.

That groups of people, states, etc., go to war is a complicated topic with factors to consider including history, socio-economic climate, political situation, leadership at a given time, and others. These factors emerge as a result of us being a social primate species and all of the associated psychological and physical factors.

Whittling it down to "it's just karma" doesn't begin to scratch the surface of cause and effect.

I believe in Blarma, it gives meaning to all my actions while not having to choose a religion/god to do so, I suppose its just like Karma but ehm, yeah, I'm a Bluddhist.

This is not about karma, this is about you respecting others and the others respecting you and behaving accordingly based on your behaviour. This doesn't mean though that you won't get mugged on the street by someone who wasn't impressed by your good vibrations. This wouldn't mean you had bad karma just that you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. You are not creating a positive karma for yourself by being nice to each other, you are creating a positive environment but that won't protect you from accidents, bad people and sickness.

Karma is not a mystical word, in the east it was known for thousands of years. Its put in a simple way as cause and effect.
Yes Karma is complicated, even countrys can have their own karma.
Long after you and I live, long after all religions and people die off.
There will still be Karma. Its not a philosophy.

I said usually,if everything went perfect in your life you would be the luckiest person in the world.
We all have encountered struggles in our lives but by being positive and doing good in your life you limit your exposure to negative events unfortunately we cannot control certain sicknesses but by eating healthy etc we can limit them,if your constantly putting yourself in negative situations your going to end up with negative results.
Put Garbage into your thoughts and get garbage back out effect.

No, it is about positive choices in your eating and living and thinking. Still, you can live as healthily as you can or be positive like a little miss sunshine and you can get sick. But it is all rational and easy to be explained and done and there is nothing mythical about it. Instead of karma you can call it positive choices and the result and the fact that it can be all explained in a rational way will be the same.

Getting tonsilitis on the night a club is raided is not Karma.
That's a lucky coincidence.

A car thief getting his wallet stolen is karma.

You can't sell that! Karma can only be re-aligned by the cosmos.

Which phenomena?

Yes, phenomena have single causes or multiple causes.

Positive choices are just a fraction of karma. Why call karma something less than what it actually is?

Yes thank you Seamus.
Some people on here think that things just happen (accidents).
But if someone bumps into these people in their car.
Than theres no accidents, theres someone at fault and they will bring you to court and sue you. Try telling them it was just an accident and they will
soon tell you that there is no such thing as an accident. And the court will find out the cause of the so called accidents. Which is right. If we investgate anything long enough we will find a cause.

Yo! MTV SUCKS

why was johnny foreigner banned???

I was just trying to simplify the question where someone who could not grasp karma might get where its comming from.

**** Karma, if it does exist, we have it the wrong way round.
Those who deserve bad karma usually get good karma.

Your post is the result of mine.

I don't believe in karma as such but I do believe in the golden rule which is central to all major world religions and others, i.e. do unto others.

BTW, the OP obviously had inside knowledge about the raid and left England because he knew he had hung some dangerous people out to dry. :cool:

Right. Karma is an incredibly difficult concept for someone who doesn't understand the basic principles of cause and effect.

But it's more than just that innit? My post is a result of yours, which is a result of this forum being created, which is a result of someone 's idea of building a community, and so on. No phenomena has but a single cause. It's all intertwined.

I believe in life after love.

Id like to believe in karma but life has thaught me that chaos levels lifes playing field rather then every action having an equel and opposite reaction.

Ie I subscribe to '**** happens' and not karma.
