Book Synopsis Karma Actions and Their Results by : Gelek Rimpoche
Download or read book Karma Actions and Their Results written by Gelek Rimpoche and published by Jewel Heart. This book was released on with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does karma leave any room for self-determination, or are we totally at the mercy of fate? Does personal responsibility exist, or is even that an illusion? These are questions rising when discussing karma. Also in the West there has always been a notion of the interdependence of deeds and their results, reflected in some of our sayings: As you sow, so shall you reap Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind Nobody pushes your button except you yourself. Gehlek Rinpoche, using four different characteristics explains how the law of karma works within the individual. In that, the part that ego plays, and our habitual patterns are central issues, rendering the key to freedom from (pre)-determination. The theme is clarified by lovely stories from the Indian and Tibetan tradition.
Book Synopsis Buddhism and Science by : Jargal Dorj
Download or read book Buddhism and Science written by Jargal Dorj and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the basic doctrines of the Buddhist teachings is the law of karma. What is the law of karma? Science believes that an animal and a human are the result of the biological evolution theory developed by Charles Darwin. Buddhism believes that the animal and human are the result of reincarnation. In fact, the animals and humans are the result of evolution and reincarnation. In other words, living beings are the result of biological and psychological development, because both the animal and human consist of body and mind. A soul appeared when the sentient beings emerged in the universe and with this information about the actions-karma taken during their life. This information persists in the soul. Even if the karma does not grow in this life, either happiness or suffering, after the death of the animal and human the soul with karma doesn't die or fade away. It is reborn in one of the 6 animal species of the non-eternal universe depending on their karma, and still exists in the universe from one birth to another birth. If people develop their minds and healthy actions , they may arise in rebirth and even reborn as the Buddha or God. If people have an unhealthy mind, the actions that they take can to reduce their rebirth and even be reborn as hell, as a devil.Buddhist teachings describe it as the law of karma. Karma is the seed of mental, physical and verbal actions. Generally speaking, karma covers all the information about the actions committed by the living creatures, in their past and present lifetime.Until now, not only ordinary people but even scientists have not believed and accepted the law of karma. This is the main reason some people say that the Buddhist religion makes people stupid and some religions say that the Buddhist religion is misleading people. This is due to lack of scientific evidence for the law of karma. We have proved and verified the existence of the law of karma in this book with the help of Set theory and quantum physics. The book contains 3 parts and 15 chapters. In the first part, we have proved and verified the law of karma by using Set theory, while the following two conditions: first, the existence of three types of things in a non-eternal universe: matter / body, spirit / mind and imperfect cluster elements (body-mind), second, the occurrence of separation of mind and body when people and animals die.In the second part, we proved and verified the first condition and the soul with karma continues to exist in Samsara as the Wheel of Dharma or exists as the law of motion of animated matter-soul. And we demonstrate that the Buddhist philosophy has a dualist and dialectic character. In the Part 3, we proved and verified the second condition that the body and mind of humans and animals are separated, when they die by using Quantum physics, and it has an empirical testament and its own unique interpretation. Also, we demonstrate that the life is rational combination of evolution and reincarnation. The Buddhist philosophy assumes that there are non-eternal and eternal universes and they have their own objects and phenomena. We demonstrate that there are non-eternal, eternal and neutral universe and describe their facts and phenomena.At the end, we demonstrate the Buddhist teachings about how to reduce the suffering and improve the happiness and rebirth and enlightenment as well as three levels.The Buddha Gautama found the natural law of karma or the origin, development, degradation and death of living creatures through enlightenment over 2,500 years ago. But people have studied it as a religious doctrine in this period due to the lack of scientific evidence. At this time, we have proved the law, therefore, our duty is to extend this knowledge to people regardless of their religion. Learning about the law of karma is not only useful for personal development, but also vital to improve the ethics and morality of human social development.
Book Synopsis The Law of Karma by : Ramaswamy Thanu
Download or read book The Law of Karma written by Ramaswamy Thanu and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law of Karma, invisibly influences actions, events and consequences on human beings, providing the only answer to mysterious events and results taking place in day to day life. It makes or mars one's Destiny. This great principle in Hinduism according to which the life one enjoys or suffers is the result of one's past good or bad deeds early in this life or in previous lives, provides the backbone for living a moral life. Out of the twelve laws, associated with Karma and to live a good life the author has chosen one which has great potential to reform and refine man to the pinnacle of excellence. At the same time it provides man an answer to mysterious events taking place in one's life for good or bad. There is long-term karma, where the person does not even remember the actions he has done for which he is getting the results (punishment) in the present. This may be in this life or in previous lives.The tentacles of the law discussed in this book are more powerful and justice awarding than that could be expected from any judiciary in the world. The reward, good or bad, puts an end to all further thinking on the subject and prompts the individual to live in peace and work for the welfare of mankind. This law is stated below."As you sow, so shall you reap". This is also known as the "Law of Cause and Effect". If what we want is Happiness, Peace, Love, and Friendship Then we should BE Happy, Peaceful, Loving and a True Friend."It, is further explained here."A calf lost in a crowd of a thousand cows will ultimately find out its mother, chase it and join. Similarly good or bad deeds with their cumulative result and impact will chase the doer in the ensuing birth and leave its impact on him, the nature of the result depending on whether the deeds were good or bad. This is a certainty". The author has taken some real life examples in different areas and stages of human activity to illustrate and facilitate understanding of the law. As a man sows, he reaps. The fruit is of the same quality as the action. It provides the major motivation to live a moral life. It is important to know the laws of karma, as we know the laws of nature. When we know and follow these laws we become free. If we violate these laws, we suffer. Just as if we do not respect the laws of nature. God-fearing people afraid of performing wrong actions suffer all the time and others do wrong deeds and yet have no problems. Under such a situation, we blame God for this injustice. But God does not interfere with the laws of karma. He just gives us wisdom and the power to face situations. So what is crucial in every action is knowledge. This book seeks to provide a key to such knowledge through explaining in a simple way in all humility to gain such knowledge to live a happy and useful life for all.

Book Synopsis A Heart Full of Peace by : Joseph Goldstein
Download or read book A Heart Full of Peace written by Joseph Goldstein and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, compassion, and peace - these words are at the heart of all spiritual endeavors. Although we intuitively resonate with their meaning and value, for most of us, the challenge is how to embody what we know; how to transform these words into a vibrant, living practice. In these times of conflict and uncertainty, this transformation is far more than an abstract ideal; it is an urgent necessity. Peace in the world begins with us. This wonderfully appealing offering from one the most trusted elders of Buddhism in the West is a warm and engaging exploration of the ways we can cultivate and manifest peace as wise and skillful action in the world. This charming book is illuminated throughout with lively, joyous, and sometimes even funny citations from a host of contemporary and ancient sources - from the poetry of W.S. Merwin and Galway Kinnell to the haiku of Issa and the great poet-monk Ryokan, from the luminous aspirations of Saint Francis of Assisi to the sage advice of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over thirty years, Opening the Hand of Thought has offered an introduction to Zen Buddhism and meditation unmatched in clarity and power. This is the revised edition of Kosho Uchiyama's singularly incisive classic. This new edition contains even more useful material: new prefaces, an index, and extended endnotes, in addition to a revised glossary. As Jisho Warner writes in her preface, Opening the Hand of Thought "goes directly to the heart of Zen practice... showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity." She goes on to say, "Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life." By turns humorous, philosophical, and personal, Opening the Hand of Thought is above all a great book for the Buddhist practitioner. It's a perfect follow-up for the reader who has read Zen Meditation in Plain English and is especially useful for those who have not yet encountered a Zen teacher.

Book Synopsis Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions by : Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty
Download or read book Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions written by Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karma is perhaps the most famous concept in Indian philosophy, but there is no comprehensive study of its various meanings or philosophical implications. Under the sponsorship of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council, leading American Indologists met on several occasions to discuss their ideas about karma. The result is this volume. This book will have a considerable impact upon the teaching of Indian philosophy. At the very least, it demonstrates the impossibility of speaking of the theory of karma, as is so often done. It also supplies the basis for a full study of this important theory. Finally, it raises basic methodological problems about the study of a non-Western system of soteriology and rebirth, questions regarding the interaction of medical and philosophical models of the human body, the incorporation of philosophical theories into practical religions with which they are logically incompatible, and the problem of historical reconstruction of a complex theory of human life.

Download or read book Karma written by Sadhguru and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER “Full of valuable insights to guide you.”—WILL SMITH “Thoughtful and life-affirming . . . a must-read.”—TONY ROBBINS “This book will put you back in charge of your own life.”—TOM BRADY A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior. In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.
Book Synopsis The Rice Seedling Sutra by : Yeshe Thabkhe
Download or read book The Rice Seedling Sutra written by Yeshe Thabkhe and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Tibet’s great scholars presents the Buddha’s profound teachings on the laws of karma and dependent arising. In the Rice Seedling Sutra, the Buddha unpacks the law of cause and effect. He notes how in the natural world, a seed becomes a sprout, which produces a flower, which bears fruit. A seed has no intention to sprout; when the right conditions are assembled the fruit arises. Similarly, when our senses encounter an object, a sense consciousness arises naturally, without our intending it. This, says the Buddha, is also how karma works and how actions performed out of ignorance create suffering, whether we want it or not. And this same law of causality also governs enlightenment—when the right conditions are assembled, awakening is assured. In many sutras like this one, the Buddha explains that to understand his Dharma is to understand dependent arising. Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe explores dependent arising, and the corollary teaching of emptiness, through this sutra and others. Commenting on the works of Indian masters such as Shantaraksita, he shows how belief in a creator god is incompatible with dependent arising, and by illuminating the teachings of Nagarjuna and Chandrakirti, he shows how we do—and do not—exist. Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe was among the last generation of scholars to be trained in Tibet before the Chinese occupation. He has been teaching Westerners for decades, having worked with top scholars in the United States, and he is especially familiar with this sutra, having translated the commentary by Kamalasila into Hindi. Here his deep familiarity, combined with his extensive command of the Buddhist scriptures, allows him to present the Buddha’s words in a rich and authoritative context.
Download or read book Instant Karma written by Marissa Meyer and published by Feiwel & Friends. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer's young adult contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast instant karma on those around her – both good and bad. Chronic overachiever Prudence Barnett is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her. Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals. When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals—not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed . . . love and hate... and fate.
