Karma

Karma

According to the seed that is sown, so is the fruit ye reap therefrom. The doer of good will gather good, the doer of evil, evil reaps.

Sown is the seed and planted well; Thous shalt enjoy the fruit thereof.

- Samyutta Nikaya I:227

Kamma in Pali or Karma in the Sanskrit language refers to an intentional action; a force that is generated thru' thoughts, speech and bodily actions, and is constantly moulding our lives.

The understanding of the LAW OF KARMA constitute an important aspect of wisdom. It enables us to develop patience, tolerance and understanding when confronted with obstacles and challenges in our daily lives. It instills in us a sense of responsibility, self-reliance and confidence, providing us with a proper sense of purpose and direction in life.

My view on Karma is that not everyone believes in the the Law of Karma. Those people who do not believe in the Law of Karma are mostly freethinker. It is like the Law of Giving and Receiving, it is hard to prove to people who do not believe in it.
