Karma and Reincarnation.

[HopeForJANA]

---

Do I believe in Karma and Reincarnation? Yes.

Karma is a universal law. What comes around goes around, what you sow is what you reap, Cause and effect.

Reincarnation is the idea that the Soul comes back again to the physical realm or spiritual realm in order to carry the effect of Karma.


If the virtuous man who has not done any evil act in this birth suffers, this is due to some wrong act that he may have committed in his previous birth. He will have his compensation in his next birth. If the wicked man who daily does many evil actions apparently enjoys in this birth, this is due to some good Karma he must have done in his previous birth. He will have compensation in his next birth. He will suffer in the next birth. The law of compensation is inexorable and relentless. (Swami Shivananda, Practice of Karma Yoga, Divine Life Society, 1985, p. 102)



If it be that good men and good women, who receive and retain this discourse, are downtrodden, their evil destiny is the inevitable retributive result of sins committed in their past mortal lives. By virtue of their present misfortunes the reacting effects of their past will be thereby worked out, and they will be in a position to attain the Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment (Diamond Sutra 16, emphasis mine).

For me Sir C.A
As what u have taught me,6 articles of faith...
Muslims do not believe in Karma/Superstitions/Magic. We, only believe in Destiny
however it is true that following the karma can lead to u being a morally good person.
the quran tells us from right and wrong...
Islam believes in destiny but free will within the destiny to choose but the action taken is of Gods will, but u still have the free will to choose.

according to its concept (karma & reincarnation) yung future daw natin "is the future of a thing at yung growth & splendour has no limit" perfection daw of certain learning is not an end of ones journey,kumbaga sa kanta pa "lifes a journey not a destination"

Karma is the restoration of equilibrium, hence its educative for it indicates thru our experience via pain & pleasure if our actions are in accord w/ the law, & the more we are in tune w/ the "great law" the more daw we grow,

Thanks Sis, but I'm thinking at least there should be an end for someone to be reincarnated, what will happen to the spirit then finally where it will go?

According to this reincarnation principle/system...One we will continue to live but in a much higher dimesion/finer vibration after the karma is resolved...and will shed-off physical bodies eternally by his/her choice....or enter the physical again if needed...But doesn't mean one will not be subject for growth anymore...it will be another journey for growth and learning, but in different manner, without the grosser body...until you're one with GOD, so to say...

This is as far as I know...

Okay Thanks Bro,

yung nabasa ko sa buddhism pag perfect ka na daw, bali you reach daw the state of "Budhi"
di kana daw kasali sa reincarnation here on earth. My 2 options daw, either you help in the other affairs of the universe or you have the option to reincarnate on earth not as someone to "learn" na but as a "helper", maybe a prophet, a sage, a philosopher.

mobalik daw ta sa source which is God? Angel Sky, mura mana sa kang Origen, Catholic theologian man tngay to, basta, medieval man tingay na cya, ana cya everything will return to God bsag ang evil daw. na.excommunicate man to hehehe mao sa akong nahinumduman. I could be wrong

Buddhist Afterlife Beliefs:


Where Buddha departed most radically from Hinduism was in his doctrine of "anatta", the notion that individuals do not possess eternal souls. Instead of eternal souls, individuals consist of a "bundle" of habits, memories, sensations, desires, and so forth, which together delude one into thinking that he or she consists of a stable, lasting self. Despite its transitory nature, this false self hangs together as a unit, and even reincarnates in body after body. In Buddhism, as well as in Hinduism, life in a corporeal body is viewed negatively, as the source of all suffering. Hence, the goal is to obtain release. In Buddhism, this means abandoning the false sense of self so that the bundle of memories and impulses disintegrates, leaving nothing to reincarnate and hence nothing to experience pain.

From the perspective of present-day, world-affirming Western society, the Buddhist vision cannot but appear distinctly unappealing: Not only is this life portrayed as unattractive, the prospect of nirvana, in which one dissolves into nothingness, seems even less desirable. A modern-day Buddha might respond, however, that our reaction to being confronted with the dark side of life merely shows how insulated we are from the pain and suffering that is so fundamental to human existence.

Thanks Sis, such a nice destiny for buddhists.

Mura'g irreconcilable jud ang Christianity og ang belief sa reincarnation. And I don't think the Church Fathers taught reincarnation. They're considered Church Fathers precisely because isa sila sa mga nag-contribute sa pagsabot sa doctrines sa early Church, and the present Church draw their essential teachings from them. So it's quite impossible that they would teach reincarnation.
