THE FAIRNESS OF THE KARMIC LAW

The fairness of Karmic law PART III - THE LEVELS OF OUR UNDERSTANDING OF AND OUR BELIEF IN THE LAW OF KARMAPeople in this world can be divided into four types according to their understanding of the law of Karma.The Buddha is the one who has a complete understanding of the law of Karma, even a small detail. The law of Karma is not easy to understand. It is not as simple as “one good turn deserves another or we reap what you have sowed.” Actually, it is very complicated and no one but the Buddha can understand its way. So the Buddha is the only one who thoroughly understands the law of Karma.The second is saints. Saints can mostly understand the law of Karma, but of course, cannot fully understand it like the Buddha. To assess if someone in this world is a saint, we should base on how he understands the law of Karma. It is not like that someone who has psychic powers is a saint or someone who preaches well is a saint but someone who has a profound understanding of the law of Karma is a saint.The third is people who are good and believe in the law of Karma.The fourth is people who are bad and don’t believe in the law of Karma.Temporarily, we divide people into four kinds, not based on their classes, not based on their money or not based on their races, but based on their understanding of the law of Karma.And in this article, we discuss only the last two types of people; they are those who believe in the law of Karma and those who don’t. Why do we say that those who have belief in the law of Karma are good? If we ask one of them, “The law of Karma has not been proved by science, so why do you have belief in it?” – They would answer, “I gave mon- ey to a sick person in need of medication, making him healthy again. He was the owner of a family, so when he was back to health, he had the ability to raise his whole family. Helping him recover from his illness is not just helping one person but many people related. Thanks to this help, thirty years later, I achieved a good result that is I have been successful in my business, helping me to become rich.”We continue asking him, “How do you know that your wealth today results from the help you provided someone thirty years ago that made him recover from his illness?” Science has not yet proved the presence of the law of Karma and ordinary cannot realize it; only saints can and they tell us.If he is good and believe in the law of Karma, he would answer:“First, there are things that we just are told but have to believe in. For example, many people who have never been on a plane still believe that planes can fly and men could build planes and many people have flown. Like us, we have never witnessed the scene when a spacecraft launched into orbit or landed on the Moon but we still believe in it because the whole world knew it and someone did it.”Likewise, there are saints who use their spiritual powers and great wisdom to know that person who is wealthy now is because thirty years ago, he saved a family in distress. We believed it because it is reasonable. It is like that we believe planes can fly because they base on the principle of reactive power and we think it is reasonable. We have correct theory and practice, many people see, and we believe. So, we can say that it is possible for a saint who is able to know the retribution of a person after thirty years. This is the first reason that we believe many people are right and many honest people see that. #Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #SpiritualLogic, #BeliefAndUnderstanding, #FirstPrinciples, #Metaphysics, #ConsciousEvolution, #Mindfulness, #AncientWisdom, #SpiritualGrowth, #EthicsAndMorality, #Transcendence, #CosmicOrder, #WisdomSeeker, #LogicalReasoning, #InnerTransformation

PART II - THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT RULES EVERYTHING WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONSThe law of Cause and Effect is infinite. The more you understand it, the more interests you gain. Enlightened saints have a profound understanding of the law of Cause and Effect, while normal people like us just have a basic understanding but it is still valuable to their life.The law of Cause and Effect is the absolute right principle of the universe. No matter how high level we reach in cultivation, we are still ruled by this law. Everyone is dominated by this law without any exception. This is different from human law.In our world, a person who creates a law may not be ruled by this law. For example, a king does not allow anyone to enter his garden. However, he himself can do it. That means humans can create a law and can disobey it. However, the law of Karma is not that way. No one creates it. It exists in the universe by itself and no one has capability to escape it. Even the one who rules this world is also dominated by the law of Karma. And thanks to the law or Karma, that person has such power but he himself cannot achieve it. That means he created a karma that he will be worth having so much power.It is easy to understand people who lack blessing and often face difficulties are dominated by the law of Karma. However, this law applies to blessed people as well. Monks of high morals do not mean to avoid being ruled by the law of Karma, but they live in accordance with it. They always try to control themselves as they know they reap what they have sowed. In theory, if you create good karma, you will achieve good outcomes and if you create bad karma, you will receive retribution for it. However, the law of Karma is so intense that one cause will produce thousands of effects. Sometimes, with just one word, we can enjoy our blessing in all our life even through ten lives after. And sometimes with just one word in unintentional way, we will fall into animals that won’t be able to become humans even after ten lives.Because we do not fully understand the law of Cause and Effect, we rarely control ourselves but let us do whatever we want. We can treat others in a bad way; we can despise or deceive someone we hate because we don’t know what retribution is waiting for us. But when we know the law of Karma is very fair, we will fear for our retribution so we will restraint ourselves and always live to love, to sacrifice and to serve others.Why is that so? It is because the retribution for selfishness is of humble origin and misery. Those who only care for their own interest will be miserable in the future. The first possibility is they will become unfortunate people; the second possibility is they will become animals; the third possibility is they will become hungry ghosts; and the fourth possibility is they will be sent to hell. If we believe in the law of Karma, we will restrain ourselves and vow to love all beings. We will be careful with our words to avoid making others unhappy and only want to bring others happiness. #Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #SpiritualLogic, #BeliefAndUnderstanding, #FirstPrinciples, #Metaphysics, #ConsciousEvolution, #Mindfulness, #AncientWisdom, #SpiritualGrowth, #EthicsAndMorality, #Transcendence, #CosmicOrder, #WisdomSeeker, #LogicalReasoning, #InnerTransformation, #KarmicLaws, #DharmaInsight, #IntellectualSpirituality, #TruthSeeker, #HigherConsciousness, #LifePhilosophy, #ContemplativePractice, #SoulScience, #MoralPhilosophy, #AwakeningJourney, #DeepThinking, #SpiritualScience, #SystemicThinking, #ExistentialWisdom, #MindsetShift, #UniversalPrinciples

PART I - THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT IS FAIR IN AN ABSOLUTE AND STRANGE WAYOur presence in this life results from causes in the past, but is not by accident. And, in turn, we now create causes for our future. Things that will happen to us in the future are in accordance with what we do now. That we go to temples with our great reverence for the Dharma, monks and nuns creates a blessing, which in turn, create various results.It is like when we sow a seed, we will not get only one fruit. We sow a mango seed, the mango tree will produce many mango fruits for us. However, before mango fruits appear, we have a young mango tree. This young tree will produce branches, flowers then fruits. We then have green fruits and ripe fruits. In the middle of these fruits, we also have seeds. That is, many things will appear from a seed we plant. We cannot say, “I plant a mango seed then I will have a mango fruit.” It is not simple like that. So what will we have when we plant a mango seed? We will enjoy the shade of the mango tree and when it grows big, we can use its trunks and branches as firewood and its fallen leaves for cooking or fertilizing our fields. We also can enjoy its flowers and compose poems. Its fruits (green or ripe) will be eaten and its seeds will be planted again. So, from a mango seed, we will enjoy many things and receive many benefits but not just a mango fruit then finish.Similarly, when we listen to a sermon, we will not just enjoy one good result but a lot. We come to temples to be taught morals, our soul will become noble and we will be better. Each of our words will have virtue that makes our descendants respect and obey us. We’re not sure if in our next life we will be able to enjoy our blessing but in this life, our descendants are more obedient. As when we sow mango tree, before we have its fruits, we can enjoy its shade in hot days. Likewise, when we have not yet been wealthy, our descendants are well-behaved and this is our happiness.We will gradually be better because of our regularly coming to temples. Thus, our relatives and our neighbors love and rely on us more and more. Therefore, when we call them to do charity, they will be happy to do. For example, we tell them, “There is an old man who lives in poverty and have sickness and whose descendants stay far away, so, we should take turns to take care of him because taking care of the old is great morals of men.” Before we go to temples to be taught morals, no one listened to us, but now our words have strength that make many people follow. First, we help a lonely elderly person spend their final days in peace and happiness. We gradually feel that our neighborhood bonds have become closer and more trustworthy than before. For example, in the past, whenever we had to travel far, we would worry about someone lurking around, trying to break into our house. #Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #SpiritualLogic, #BeliefAndUnderstanding, #FirstPrinciples, #Metaphysics, #ConsciousEvolution, #Mindfulness, #AncientWisdom, #SpiritualGrowth, #EthicsAndMorality, #Transcendence, #CosmicOrder, #WisdomSeeker, #LogicalReasoning, #InnerTransformation, #KarmicLaws, #DharmaInsight, #IntellectualSpirituality, #TruthSeeker, #HigherConsciousness, #LifePhilosophy, #ContemplativePractice, #SoulScience, #MoralPhilosophy, #AwakeningJourney, #DeepThinking, #SpiritualScience, #SystemicThinking, #ExistentialWisdom, #MindsetShift, #UniversalPrinciples

The Fairness of The Karma LawHello everyone. Welcome to Janna's Audio Books. Today we begin a new journey with our book The Fairness of The Karma Law.This is a journey into one of the most powerful laws in the universe the law of karma the law of cause and effect. Many people wonder why good people sometimes suffer and why some harmful actions seem to go unpunished. Buddhism answers this question through the law of karma. Nothing happens without a cause and nothing disappears without leaving a result.Every thought, every word, and every action plants a seed. Some seeds grow quickly some grow slowly but none of them are lost. When we understand this law clearly life stops feeling random or unfair. We begin to see that our present life was shaped by causes in the past and what we do today is quietly shaping our future. May this reflection help every listener plant wholesome causes avoid harmful actions and walk steadily on the path toward liberation and enlightenment. Now let us begin with the Preface.PREFACEThe law of Cause and Effect or The law of Karma is the most basic and important principle of Buddhism. The entire teachings of Buddhism, from elementary to advanced, from the morals of human beings to the morals of Saints are based on the law of Cause and Effect.The law of Cause and Effect is a natural principle of the universe, not created by anyone. The Buddha, the greatest enlightened being of all time, with his all-encompassing vision and unparalleled wisdom, discovered and fully understood the workings of this law on his own. Among all enlightened beings throughout history, his insight into the law of karma was the most profound and comprehensive. The entire vast, profound, and extraordinary system of Buddhist teachings is built upon the foundation of the law of Cause and Effect.Anyone who comes to Buddhism, even to explore or to practice, first, must correctly understand the law of Karma.The law of Karma is absolutely fair. Everything that happens in your life, in this world, or in the universe has a cause; it cannot happen accidentally. What we do now will cause effects in the future in this life or in our next life.Therefore, people need to fully understand the law of Karma to strive to control our actions, our words, and even our thoughts in our daily life. By doing so, every sentient being can cultivate wholesome seeds, not only for this lifetime but also for future lives.Wish all sentient beings a correct understanding of the law of Karma to live and practice in accordance with this law, and together, we go on the path heading to liberation and enlightenment.JANNA#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions
