Karma

Alot of people always say "What goes around comes around" Karma, but i never believed it or maybe i was hoping it would skip me. lol Anyway i realize now u can't go around hurting people and expect it not to come back 2 u.It came back to me and my heart is broken.Has anyone ever done something then it came back to them? And do we all believe in Karma anyway?

When I was up to no good back in the day I was warned by a close friend I should ba careful of how I conduct myself or I would end up having bad karma. I would tell her shhh F that noise, don't jinx me... I din't believe in karma... It took a few years of the strangest experiences (too hard 2 explain) but I felt my karma in so many ways and am a true believer now!!!! I've read up on it a lot more recently and I have t emphasize that karma is not only something that is based aound badness or wrong doings!!





Those who are good and mean well can and will experience good karma.

I'd like to believe in Karma, it appeals to my sense of justice and right and wrong.
Unfortunately, in my experience, real life doesn't work that way. All too often the
innocent suffer while the guilty get away with it... sad but true.

Everything I do comes back to me. If not right away or visibly, it may come years after, or maybe it'll be a feeling U can't get rid of because it bothers you so much, or maybe your conscience.
I'd say that a good way for living is to stick with the saying: Do to others what U'd like others do to U

too often, the concept of karma is taken out of context and used for vindictive purposes ("Karma's a bitch", "Karma will take care of him/her eventually", etc.). as a buddhist, this bothers me. not just because of the intention behind it, but because it can't truly be understood out of context.

thanks for reading up on things, Pej hug

Life is filled with good and evil... I believe if you live a honest life and do good to others, eventually (most of the time) good will come out of it. It goes to say... you usually get in return what you give from the heart. Karma is not just the evil that stews back to you... but the peace and good in the way you choose to live as well.

Innerpeace, self-love... it's all a reflection of yourself and being is definitely felt by others. Quite powerful I must say. rose

Karma ( pronounced kerr'ma ) is the ancient tenet of the Sanatan Dharma. The basic philosophy of karma is 'the friuts of ones actions and reactions' on a transcendental level.

.i.e. Do good, do bad, ONE day the consequence of the action will present its self to you, in one form or another.

Man, don't I know it too! Got the souvenir scars as proof aswell!

Yes I Do Believe In Karma.

In Buddhist teaching, the law of karma, says only this: `for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as to whether its cause was skillful or unskillful.'

The law of karma thus translates to the law of action (and reaction). It is a law of nature. Although karma is a Sanskrit word the law is also found in the bible as "you reap what you sow".

I think Karma is misunderstood. In psychological terms, it is projection. A part of myself that I see in others. I may act out unwanted feelings onto another. Creating Karma is when feelings are badly dealt with and not processed and owned.

For example. What goes around comes around only happens because when we give out our anger for example to others, when it is really our own, it is still within us, just needing to be processed! It's as simple as process all feelings as an individual entity and this effects how one fits with other entities.

FAO THERAPY,

Interesting thoughts mate, however ( with all due respect to you ), I think the original concept of Karma has been grasped by most who have posted here but rather the "psychological" concept is misunderstood.

I think I posted this once before.

The law of karma is that of action and reaction, cause and effect, sowing and reaping. In the course of natual righteousness, every human being by his thoughts and actions becomes the molder of his own destiny. Whatever energies he/she, wisely or unwisely, has set in motion must return to him as their startng point, like a circle completing itself.

I said that I thought the meaning of Karma was misunderstood. I then shared my understanding of Karma, what it means to me. No where did I say that I thought that others' did not grasp the original concept, mate...!

True that ( no pun intended pal! ) no doubt, however a marriage also works hand in hand,

the soul and material body work hand in hand... but are in fact comprised of two seperate entities. That's all I'm trying to estabalish, Truth & Karma are two different 'cosmic' forces. wink

Soz mate, i wasn't trying to 'dis' you by saying others understand it and you don't, it may have come out wrong.

What i was trying to say was that the "psychological" notion of Karma is a misunderstood concept of the original and simpler meaning of Karma.

Sag10 explains it well a couple of post above!
