Karm Buddhist Religious Teachings

Karma is a universal law and it is a key element of the Buddhist religion teachings. It is taken from Hindu and Jain practices. My personal definition of Karma is simply the consequences of good and bad. As you sow shall you reap, this is a proverb from the bible that explains a little of what Karma means. One is free to take whatever action that they wish, but they are not free from the consequences. It hold us responsible for our own actions. I been taught as a muslim, when someone insult me, I should look at them smile and forgive them. With some reflection of what is actually happening, I can see that by forgiving them I freed myself from anger and hatred. Although I wish them well, they will still deal with their own Karma. The action that they’ve taken or done to me or to anyone else will come back to them. In other words, they will attract similar vibrations like the one they emitted, vibrations of anger and hatred. This was an actual real example and surprisingly, most of the time when you wish them well although they did not wish you well, they came back feeling “bad” or sorry or down about what they have done. Because the natural state of being is love and not hatred. One should cannot put down fire with fire, but with water, with love and forgiveness.

Just after I intend to help the poor, something change about my ability to tolerate, forgive and have ease in my life. I believe when one does something that is good, they elevate into a higher state of consciousness. Karma also could be as simple as thinking positively and having a better day. Or it could be as drinking alcohol and feeling bad the next
