හෙලෝ, ඔබට ඔබගේම භාෂාවෙන් ටයිප් කළ හැකිය. අපි ගූගල් පරිවර්තකය භාවිතා කළ හැකිය.
It is important to use the vernacular spoken here.
Languages are not neutral.
They convey very specific social and cultural behaviors and ways of thinking.
To understand from the Buddhist perspective, a useful starting point is to consider the Buddhist concept of mind.
The mind is non-physical.
It is formless, shapeless, colourless, genderless and has incredible possibilities.
The founding nature of mind is pure, limitless and pervasive, like the sun shining unobstructedly in a clear sky.
The concept of karma literally means action.
All of our actions lay down imprints on our mind which have the potential to ripen at some time in the future.
These actions can be positive, negative or neutral.
These karmic seeds are never lost.
The negative ones can ripen at any time in the form of problems or sickness; the positive ones in the form of happiness, health or success.
Karma isn't such a bitch as you think. It's relative to the individual. Those who do wrong will have usually had a lot of wrong done to them and is water off a duck's back.
When those two worlds collide the person used to bad will be less emotionally effected. Again on the flip side the good karma received will be received with magnification for the one used to bad. Seems unfair and stacked for the bad but that is the bigger picture karma, monkey does what monkey sees and to blame that monkey is unfair as he knows no better, there is the balance karma seeks and not in our individual situations.
I think it kind of goes with Karma...I understand this ^^ but why suddenly change the topic to buddhist stuff...
Why with this Buddhist thing all the time?

Karma is a Sanskrit word roughly translated to "action," a core concept in Hinduism and Buddhism.
This topic is one with Buddhists, I am one, obviously you are not, but who cares?
I've never even met an atheist until this moment, but who cares?
In Buddhism, mindfulness is a key practice, karma a key concept, but who cares?
A fool’s pursuit to the atheists, but who cares?
I take my leave, but who cares?
You need someone to hug you, bro
Hugging Meditation: Deepen Your Practice with a Mindful Embrace
Hugging meditation, made famous by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, is rooted in the belief that a good hug can have transformative effects.
Ready to Give Hugging Meditation a Try?
To get the most out of the experience, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh advises doing the following:
1. Begin by recognizing the other person.
Start by bowing toward the other person as a way of acknowledging their presence. Then bring yourself fully into the moment by taking three conscious breaths.
2. Go in for the hug (and keep your breathing in mind).
A quick pat on the back won’t really do the trick here. Instead, hold the other person in your arms for three deep breaths. Hanh writes that the first breath should be devoted to you honoring your presence in the moment. The second should honor the other person, while the final breath should be focused on feeling happy and grateful for your togetherness.
3. End with gratitude.
After you release each other, finish the experience by bowing again to express thankfulness for the other person.
Once again, you blow me away with the depth of your perception expressed so well and with such elegant simplicity. There is a certain ‘other world’, yet ‘down to earth’ sanity in your words.
As the branches of a tree return their sap to the root from where it arose and as a river pours its streams in to the sea, so the heart of a grateful man who is delighted in returning a benefit received.
Somewhere in the middle is Goldilocks.
I'll just goldilocks until I find a sweet spot.
Extreme porridge diving for the sweet bits means you have to navigate the lumps.
I don't know what the various religions have to say about this, but I'm familiar with the pagan perspective, which boils down to intent. If you didn't intend harm, consciously, then you're in the clear.I have a question related to karma .
Suppose I hurted someone unconsciously .the wheels of karma have set in action but in the meantime I realise my mistake and repent gravely so will I get my karma or will be forgiven ..?
Animals have feelings. They have the same mind as we have, and also want happiness, like we do. It includes those who kill the animal, transport the animal, cook the meat, serve the meat, or eat the meat. All are involved in this karma.
