A while ago, a reader asked me to write more about karma. Here are some quotes about karma that come from Buddhism.
I started learning and practicing Buddhism several decades ago. And, I am still learning as there are so many nuances to the Buddhism way of life.
The online Dictionary.com defines karma as:
I translate this as meaning that how you manage yourself in your past lives will determine how you are treated and regarded in this lifetime. Many think that karma is only about past evil deeds coming back to haunt them in this life. However, past life kindnesses and closing of loops of bonds with people are also part of the clearing of karma. More about this in a later post.
Some thoughts:
"I am the owner of my karma.
I inherit my karma. I am born of my karma. I am related to my karma.
I live supported by my karma.
Whatever karma I create, whether good or evil, that I shall inherit."
The Buddha, Anguttara Nikaya V.57 - Upajjhatthana Sutta
Many blessings,
Judy

Thanks for reading this blog post. Sharing is good if it is kind and either has questions or tells about an experience. (Rudeness and profanity are excluded.)
