Is it true that one suffers in this janma (birth) because of one's bad KARMA in the previous birth?

Answer 1

No, but your actions in this life effect your karma in this life for sure.

Answer 2

Karma is a logical theory and it does not necessarily give results in the same Birth

A person is born blind or lame or without any limb or without developed brain ...what is the reply ?

One child born in the home of Bill Gates and at the same time another child is born in a tribe in Ethiopia ...WHY

What is the fault of people born poor or wicked or sinner ? Their last birth's Karma decided that

Karma is an unending chain and it continues from the last birth to next births.

Those who are wicked and enjoying now... are blessed due to good karma done in last birth... and when that account is finished they will start suffering either in this birth or next

Those who are good, but getting sufferings is also due to last birth's Karma...and when that account is finished..they will start getting good results.

Hitler enjoyed power due to last birth's karma and when his good energies ended...and the sufferings started he had to finally commit suicide.... he will again be reborn as a poor sufferer...and may be would be killed brutally...and people would be surprising, why this person had to die, without any of his fault ??

Karma is the answer to all paradoxes... and re-birth is to be considered to get a logical explanation

Answer 3

Yes. Not only that one suffers in this janma(birth) because of one's bad karma in the previous birth, but also enjoys because of one's good karma in the previous birth.

That is the reason why somebody is born with diseases, poverty, foolish etc... and suffers because of that.

That is the reason why somebody is born with good health, richness intelligence etc... and is happy because of that.

It is the misconception people have that God puts one in that condition. The all merciful Lord who is compassionate would be showing partiality to put somebody in misery while somebody is enjoying life happily.

All these are truth and are not any Hindu opinion.
"I am no Hindu, but I hold the doctrine of the Hindus concerning a future state (rebirth) to be incomparably more rational, more pious, and more likely to deter men from vice than the horrid opinions inculcated by Christians on punishments without end."
-Sir William Jones

Answer 5

In general terms this is the case. I am a Buddhist in the Theravada tradition, allow me to elaborate for clarity on Karma.

Karma is the Consequence of past Action or Actions, Actions in this case includes but is not limited to thoughts, deeds, and words and can include inaction.

To be subject to Rebirth is to be both subject to the Laws of Karma and it can and most times does include being unevolved. As well there may be the case of a purposeful decision of a Higher Lifeform to be Reborn to this Realm for purposeful reasons. There are numerous possible events therefore leading to Rebirth into this Realm.

Suffering alone is not a true reason to be Reborn, our evolution as humans does not become a reality because we suffer rather it becomes our reason to eliminate it from our own as well as all other being's lives. The First Noble Truth gives us this reason, In Life there is suffering....it is Life itself which contains suffering...it is not our purpose to suffer suffering to live if you follow....

That said it can occur that unresolved Karmic Consequence from previous lives can cause a Rebirth and that Karma will have Consequence on the circumstances and environment of that Rebirth. To escape from this ever revolving cycle, it is necesary to become consciously and purposefully aware of these Consequences and ensure only positive Consequences result from our present Actions no matter how insignificant those Actions are. The more positive those Consequences then the more positive will our future be, as well as the more positive will be the future of those with which we interact.

Answer 6

The only problem I have with the whole Karma past life thing is that it takes potential compassion and help away from those who are suffering and need help,

People are innocent--If they have not done anything in this life to deserve punishment, and animals and children are surely innocent. I don't think it's right to look at one who suffers and say "they must be reaping the punishment of something they have done in a past life, so they must deserve it."
'
That can go for anyone or any animal that suffers torture and death, "they must have had it coming",
'
IT's really not a very morally and ethically consistant ideal.

Answer 7

The whole cycle of birth and deaths are cause and effect. The Devinne cycle of cause and effect is beyond human comprehension. It is a vast subject cant be explained in few lines.
Yes there is relationship between past karma and present sufferings.

Answer 8

no, not. but the birth is due to your desires, your wish to fulfil in your life. If you have not any wish, desire in your present life and you are totally satisfied in the blessings of your devine master, you get 'moksha' i.e. liberation of soul but if you have some desire your soul take rebirth and this is the cycle.

so the birth is not a result of bad karma. Its gift of your soul from your parents and god.

Answer 9

I won't accept this concept but what we do good in this janma will be the good deed and bad deeds. therefore,always think good,do good,and be affectionate othersand give respects to your parents and elders.

Answer 10

u r in modern world man, how can u believe those things. there is only one birth which u r living, n no other not even in past. jyothis ll bluff dont believe in them.
coming to suffering side well all have thier own stories. if u r trying hard to get things done then its sure that u ll achieve it. so what ever u want to achieve u must b honest to it maximum u have to try 4 it.U may have seen or heard d ants story, ant tries to climb d wall at first it may fall, but tries 4 second time again it may fall, third .,fourth., but it never loses its aim or strength or destiny until it gets.So if u fail once try it another time but before trying get the stuffs y u failed at first time, consider only possitive things from failure, so that u wont loose ur faith or aim on it.

what ever things happen in life take it lightly, because what ever d sorrows are, there is a solution 4 it, just try to find it. as taking tension it wont solve ur problem, but it doubles the problem n halves relationship.
