But I am not a believer in karma. I don't think that by being a good person, somewhere someone is keeping track, making sure that good things will happen to you in return.
I do think that good people bring positive energy and feelings wherever they go. Others pick up on that, and sometimes, not always but sometimes people do nice things to good people because they have seen or experienced them doing nice things to others.
There is nothing better than getting enjoyment out of doing something nice for someone, and in a funny way that almost makes it sound selfish! |
Well said, Shanny! I second that! I remember the first time I met you at Penny's and quoted your sig, without even consciously remembering that it was your sig! |

| I believe to some degree. I don't believe that for every action you take there is an equal reaction on the same order of magnitude. But I do believe that they way you live your life influences everything around you, and how life itself interacts with you. |

| I do believe in karma, but I don't think that the universe is governed by it. Suggesting that would be ludicrous. There's a lot of other factors/invisible forces out there that all contribute to how our lives play out. |

i like to thing that everything that i do is of my own will and that my future is left for me to designe. good things and bad. especially bad ones lol. |
You have a valid point, but I still think that fate exisist.
You think that everything is a coincidence?? I've had way to many coincidences in order for them to be concidered Karma and nothing else. |

Based on what I'm seeing posted most of you don't know what Karma is (and it's part of all vedic religions not just bhuddism). FYI folks:
a) Good Karma is accumulated by completing yogas (disiplines) not by doing good deeds
b) Karma determines what you will be reincarnated as in the next life not what luck will befall you in this life. |

Me too and Taoist philosophy is the closest thing to its fundamentals. However, mandatory crash-course pop in Star Wars-- Episode V--The Empire Strikes Back ;) |
