Karma and Karma's Effect

1.       Not to kill but to set lives free is to create blessing, a proactive so easy; not to eat meat is our human dignity. For we were born to live, to learn to love, be free. There is nothing great to shout about, just do not kill in your deeds, speech, thoughts. Bad karma you will then not create, only blessing you reaps and takes.

2.       Whenever the ancient people have done a good deed, they will put a red bean into a bottle as a mark. And when a bad deed has been done, they too put a black bean into a different bottle. After a year has passed, they would count the beans to check on the number of good and bad deeds that they had done.

3.       If in this life one likes to fight, enjoys killing animals and destroying their homes, and is happy when someone’s dislike has passed away in one’s next life, the life span will be short.

4.       When everyone knows of his evil deeds, or his notoriety is already well-known, we can prevent others and our friends from his evil doings by taking him as an example. By doing so, we are generation good blessings.

5.       Nobody can escape death. When a person leaves the world he takes along nothing with him, except his karmic seeds of good or bad deeds. It is said: “at death not even one of 10,000 things. We can bring; except only the karmic seeds of every deed we did.”

6.       If in this one practices compassion and Equanimity and avoid killing, and is always happy to help others in one’s next life one will have a long life-span.

7.       The sensual desires are: attachment to beauty, to sweet music, to perfumed unguents, to tasty flavors and to soothing touch. To every layperson, the 5 sensual desires are always creating karmic afflictions. And deep down is his heart, there is not a single day when he can be completely satisfied with them.

8.       When a person is thinking of doing evil, but has not started to do it, we can persuade or hinder him from doing so. Such a timely intervention already produces well.

9.       Before person begins to dog a good deed and we had encouraged him to carry it out, this is called “attaining blessings of carrying out a good deed, and we supported and helped him out this is called “attaining blessing through charitable acts”.

10.   Our six roots: Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind, create and result in various good and bad karma. For e.g.: someone may be born rich but has a crooked mouth.
