Answer 1

Its not about perfection it's about direction.

As long as you keep trying that's all God asks.

Love and blessings Don

Answer 2

In Karma thought, dangerous karma can not be defeated by means of doing well karmas. The account for dangerous karmas are separate. And the account of well karmas are separate. The results of karma can not be mitigated. It needs to be loved or suffered. There is a Sanskrit Sloka: "Avasyam anubhogthavyam kritham karma subha asubham; naa bhugtham ksheeyathe karma kalpa koti sathairapi". Meaning; We must endure the consequences of our karmas, if it is well or dangerous. No karma gets erased by means of doing different deeds. Sometime we must consider that we don't seem to be doing and that nature is bringing this type of situation to drive us to take a ordinary direction to adopt that motion. There is a pronouncing in Mahanarayana Upanishad: "Kamokarsheet Manyurakarsheet Namo Namah". It is an complex factor, which I don't wish to give an explanation for right here. Those who recognise can have an understanding of.

Answer 3

Hello =)

Not only do I believe in Karma, but I spend a great deal of my time contemplating the workings of it.

I am a Buddhist, and the matter is of great concern.........

Karma takes in account every part of the action.....your motivation, your intention, your ability to resist it, who is injured by the action, and even whether or not you are remorseful. The way to counteract negative Karma is by attaining positive Karma.....Do something that brings about benefit to others, and in this way, you will have achieved good Karma.

Namaste,

--Tom

Answer 4

If what you do is honestly by accident you must learn from it and do everything you can to not repeat it. You have to look deep in your heart and know that you could have done no better in that circumstance. The best way to improve your Karma is to slow down, be quiet and think using both your head and heart at all times. You know what is right and wrong and if you listen to what your head and heart are telling you seldom will misstep.

To Alexandriagal - good answer!

Answer 5

Intention of actions affects the karma created, almost as much as the action itself. Most people are too deluded to realise when they are creating negative karma, even if they do believe themselves to be doing something ~right~ when the implications lead to creating pain.

Answer 6

I believe that Karma is the force in the universe that "helps" us to learn lessons we need to learn to grow and become more whole. Karma is the opportunity to "correct" past wrongs by learning compassion and humility. It isn't a punishment, it is a just force for good.

Answer 7

Yes I do believe in Karma!

Answer 8

I really don't know what this karma is. But if it's religious then I don't follow it or don't deny it. I got some information on karma below.
Karma (Sanskrit kárman "act, action, performance"[1]; Pāli kamma) is the concept of "action" or "deed" in Dharmic religions, understood as a term to denote the entire cycle of cause and effect as described in the philosophies of Hinduism and Buddhism.

Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The results or "fruits" of actions are called karma-phala. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

Throughout this process, many see God as playing some kind of role, for example, as the dispenser of the fruits of karma[2]. Other Hindus consider the natural laws of causation sufficient to explain the effects of karma.[3][4][5] Another view holds that a Sadguru, acting on God's behalf, can mitigate or work out some of the karma of the disciple. [6][7][8]

The "Law of Karma" is central in Dharmic religions. All living creatures are responsible for their karma - their actions and the effects of their actions - and for their release from samsara. The concept can be traced back to the early Upanishads.

The Law of Karma is taught in the esoteric Christian tradition, Essenian and later Rosicrucian, as the "Law of Cause and Consequence/Effect" [9]. However, this western esoteric tradition adds that the essence of the teachings of Christ is that the law of sin and death may be overcome by Love, which will restore immortality.

Actions do not create karma (good or bad) only when the actions are performed by an individual in the state of Moksha. Such a person is called "Stithaprajna". Adi Sankara gave the dictum of "Akarmaiva Moksha" which means "Moksha can be attained only by doing, not by a process of effort". All actions performed by one in the state of Moksha are termed as Dharma.

Hindus believe that everything in the Universe is in the state of creation, maintenance or destruction. At the thought level, the mind creates a thought, maintains (follows) it for some time and the thought ultimately dies down (perhaps to be replaced by another thought). The Hindus believe there is a fourth state of being (called Turiya) where the mind is not engaged in thinking but just observes the thoughts. Actions in the Turiya state do not create karma. The practice of meditation is aimed at giving individuals the experience of being in the Turiya state. An individual who is constantly in the Turiya state is said to have attained Moksha. In such an individual, actions happen as a response to events (and not because of thought process); such actions do not result in accumulation of Karma.

The process view of release (moksha) from ego-consciousness (ahamkar) through individual responsibility for the totality of action with its inherent karma can be contrasted with the soteriological view of mainstream denominations of Christianity: grace given by faith in the suffering, death and resurrection of a singular savior.

Answer 9

here are examples of karma in my life, when i was 8 i stabbed someone with a pencil, when i was 12 someone stabbed me with a pencil, there are more examples of karma but this is the most profound experience of karma ive ever had.

Answer 10

being a buddhist, i do believe in karma. it is pure logic, you do good, you get good, and viceversa.

karma "remembers" everything you do, since all your actions/words/thoughts have a consequence.

if you did wrong but unintentionally, you do not get bad karma. in order to determine the karmic effect of your actions, you just have to analyze the motivation behind them

Answer 11

Karma is recieving what you put out.

What goes around comes around, and your actions follow a direct curving path that leads straight back to you. For good or ill.
