Budhhism is a different form of living from the one I am used to. The buddhism theories which I found most interesting were that everything is interrelated and the idea of Karma. These two ideas are very connected because if everything is related then anything you do to others will be something your doing to yourself. Buddhism affirms that everything is mutually dependent on everything else and undergoing conitnuous change. According to Buddhism, Karma means that all actions operate according to casual laws and what I do to another comes back around to me. Another theory that is also related to Karma and connection between everything is the Samasara. The Samasara is the cycle of birth-death-rebirth. We are reborn according to karma. Example: If we were very lazy and boring in our first life, then we might be reborn into a bear.
I have a story to share with all the readers of this blog on how Instant Karma has had an effect on me. One time, my mother called me to tell me that she was at the school parking lot, but i wasn't at school! :S I was at "Kiosko", so I ran to school and went in through the side of the school. I guess my mom figured it out, because i was sweating and she saw me running. She asked me, "Where where you?" I made up a huge story, that I had a forgoten my lap top and i ran back, and she didn't buy it. As I was getting out the car, I fell down on my knees and elbows. I immediatly thought, thats what happens for lying. This has happened to me many times. When I scream at my sister and start saying bad words to her i usally hit myself on a table edge or on my toe.
I believe karma does exist because I dont think all the bad things that happen to us are pure coincidence. We should live by the rule: Don't do to others what you wouldn't like them to do to you. When we do something bad to other people we should be ready to accept the consequences.
What goes areound comes around, so BE NICE!

I liked a lot your work, because the explanation was very easy to understand. In my opinion I also think karma exist, because I think all the actions we do as humans are regulated by an external power (that implants god) so that everybody will get what it deserves and that life would be a continuous way of learning by trying to reach moral.

I guess this is the funniest and best example I´ve ever heard about karma. I also do believe in Karma, though I don´t believe in renaissance. I think that the way we act towards life settles the way in which we receive. Major Kudos to you

I do believe that Karma exist, becuase I think there has to be like a reverse to what we do. Everything that we do in life will be repaid in thins life or in other just like you said with the example of having a boring life and at the end, in the next life, we became a bear.
ResponderEliminarGreat work, good examples too. You just said the real truth.

I agree with the budhhism philosophy of karma, because in my opinion every action deserves a consequence and sooner or later what you give is what you are going to receive. I loved your picture of the renaissance, because it explains karma on a major level.

Kenya!
ResponderEliminarGreat Work"! BeinG Honest I do believe in karma. Also when sometimes you did something wrong and you din not see what was the bas consequence, I think that the consequence is that this bad action will be always on your mind and you can not forget it , so you will be always worried about it.
like it!
