THE FAIRNESS OF THE KARMIC LAW

Hello everyone. Welcome to Janna's Audio Books. Today we begin a new journey with our book The Fairness of The Karma Law. This is a journey into one of the most powerful laws in the universe the law of karma the law of cause and effect. Many people wonder why good people sometimes suffer and why some harmful actions seem to go unpunished. Buddhism answers this question through the law of karma. Nothing happens without a cause and nothing disappears without leaving a result. Every thought, every word, and every action plants a seed. Some seeds grow quickly some grow slowly but none of them...

  PART IX - THE BENEFITS OF BELIEVING IN, UNDERSTANDING AND APPLYING THE LAW OF KARMA

  Aug 20, 202636 min

  PART IX - THE BENEFITS OF BELIEVING IN, UNDERSTANDING AND APPLYING THE LAW OF KARMARestraining ourselves - perfecting ourselvesThe more we understand the law of Karma, the more we fear it, hence the more we will be careful with every of our thoughts, every of our words and every of our actions. If we do not fully understand the law of Karma, we will live however we like. When we get angry, we will make others unhappy and when we feel happy, we are willing to help others. Our mood is not stable, thus, others are afraid of having a relationship with us. Those who understand and believe in the law of Karma will restrain themselves and if they are good they will be good forever, so anyone who makes friends with them will feel secure in all their life. The feeling of security that we make for our relatives and friends helps us earn outstanding blessing.The best result for those who understand and believe in the law of Karma is that they always control themselves, attempt to do good deeds and avoid doing bad deeds. We have not yet cared for what we will achieve in the future but for now, we are good people because we always try to control ourselves. Those who always control themselves are good ones. In other words, if you want to be a good one, you have to control yourselves. Those who persistently try to achieve whatever they desire are not good and unethical. To assess if someone is ethical, first, we should consider if they can restrain themselves. There are things that we desire but are not good for others, we then think them over and over and finally, we decide not to do. Restraining ourselves is the first sign of being ethical.The law of Karma helps us in restraining ourselves because we know the retribution for us will be. There are things we like to do but we always think about the effect they cause before making a final decision. This is a good thing that those who believe in the law of Karma provide our society. Thus, our society will be better and prosperous if there are many people like them because no one has the heart to make others miserable but want to bring them peace and happiness.When the law of Karma helps everyone control themselves, then surely our society will have only good things. Heaven will be, at that time, not far away but in a place that contains only people who understand and believe in the law of Karma because they will always be kind to others.The life of a Buddhist disciple must be based on wisdom and the understanding of the law of Cause and Effect but not something else. That means we must think the results/consequences we get from every single of our words or our actions.If you find that your words will create a bad karma, then don’t speak but repent your sin immediately; and if they create a blessing, then do it right away. A Buddhist must think about the results/consequences of his words and actions in every moment and gradually he will be more accurate, ethical, exemplary, careful, sensitive, and subtle. He will become a good communicator, although he doesn’t mean to.When one profoundly understands the law of Cause and Effect, first, he won’t able to be evil; second, he will be filled with good; third, he will always be kind to everyone, and fourth, he will have a subtle mind as courtesy, but this courtesy comes from his heart and compassion as the Buddha taught. Therefore, having a profound understand of the law of Cause and Effect, our manner will little by little become perfect.#Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #SpiritualLogic, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #BeliefAndUnderstanding, #FirstPrinciples, #Metaphysics, #ConsciousEvolution, #Mindfulness, #AncientWisdom,

  PART VIII - THE LEVELS OF RETRIBUTION

  Aug 19, 202621 min

  PART VIII - THE LEVELS OF RETRIBUTIONYou see, there are things that people do not notice, but the law of Karma does not omit even a tiny detail of them.Usually, retribution increases many times more than the root cause. As when we plant a banana tree, it will produce a lot of bananas as well as several young banana trees. Each banana tree keeps doing this until it is aging and will be replaced with a new one. When we sow a grain of rice, the rice tree will give us hundreds of grains. When we plant a litchi seed, the litchi tree will give us so many litchis in many years. Likewise, the effect of something is multiple times more than its cause and one cause may produce many effects.When we make someone happy, we will be multiple times happier. Why can one cause produce many effects? And what cause this to happen? For example, once we met a person who lacked twenty thousand VNDs to buy medicine. We gave him this lacking amount then forgot about it. And about ten years later, by a good chance, we earned two million VNDs. We don’t know that twenty thousand VNDs in the past became two million VNDs later. That means the result is multiple times more than its cause.Another example, in our neighboring village, there was a person whose house was burnt. Our village collected money of all the people to help that person. Each person was suggested to contribute one hundred thousand VNDs to that person. Everyone would contribute an equal amount of money. We might think that the result for each person is the same. Actually, it is not true because although they contributed the same amount of money but with different heart. For example, a rich person gave one hundred thousand VNDs as he thought if he had not given or had given a little amount, he would have felt uneasy. On the contrary, there was a person who also contributed the same amount but with his compassion and great care. Those who give alms without heart will receive the result worse than of those who do it with heart. We consider these two cases above as an example. The person who contributed one hundred thousand VNDs would receive five million VNDs in the future. However, the person who contributed the same amount but with his heart would receive one hundred million VNDs. Your heart when you give alms is the point.Keep in mind that we should help others with our heart because if we do it superficially, the sentiment between humans and humans will be not much and our result will be not so good. For example, a farmer who is plowing in his field discovers that he needs some more liters of oil to finish his work. He asks to borrow oil from us. We show great care to him and order our child to take some litters of oil to him. If we are enthusiastic in helping others, we will be greatly blessed; hence, we will have good fortune in the future. On the contrary, if we help people with less care, we will also have good luck but not much.The factors that increase our retributionThe first factor is our heart that makes the result we will achieve multiple times greater.Living in this life, we should have a good heart and this is very significant. Therefore, as of now, when going to temples, we should pray Buddha, “Dear Buddha, please help me to have compassion for all humans.” Perhaps, we are not able to give money to others but please love them. It will be better if we can both help others and feel compassionate towards them. If not, please have love for them. Our results will be very good and our life will always be happy.The second factor is time that makes the result we will achieve multiple times greater. That is, the longer our result comes, the better it will be. For example, when we plant a soybean tree, we will get about a hundred soybeans. Why do we get few soybeans? #Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth,

  THE FAIRNESS OF THE KARMIC LAW

  PART VII - THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT GETS INVOLVED IN MANY LIFETIMES

  Aug 18, 202619 min

  PART VII - THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT GETS INVOLVED IN MANY LIFETIMES There are many effects that do not have enough conditions to happen in this life, so they will happen in next lives. As we said above, the retribution for making someone orphaned (by killing that person’s parents) is being orphaned. However, the killer is not orphaned in this life so he will be in his next life. Or in this life, if you fraud someone and are not deceived back since you still have blessings, then in your next life you will be. Or in this life you help many people to be sighted again and many disabled people have wheelchairs, but in this life, you won’t be disabled to be offered a wheelchair, so in your next life, you will be rewarded.But how will you be rewarded? When you offer disabled people wheelchairs, that is, you help them travel more easily, so in your next life, you will have strong legs and cars to easily travel. There are some deeds that we think very ordinary but we will earn a great blessing from them.In Buddhism, there is another concept known as reincarnation. When we come to the end of this life, we will be reincarnated in another life. So there is another axiom in the law of Karma called Samsara. However, samsara or reincarnation is not simply that we will start another incarnation right after we finish this incarnation. After our death, our soul will exist in the metaphysical realm in a time and when there are enough conditions for us to be reborn (there are people who will be our parents), we will be born again; otherwise, we have to wait until we have all necessary conditions.For example, in our previous life, we created a good karma that we will have a wealthy family. Our mother will be very beautiful so that her genes for being beautiful will be passed on to us. Our father will be very talented and hold a high position in the society. We will be the eldest son and have a younger sister. Our father will have a large family and he will be the eldest son. That is our karma for our next life. That means we have to wait until all those conditions are met to be reincarnated; otherwise, we are still in the metaphysical realm waiting for being reborn and enjoy our blessing. In the metaphysical realm, we are happy and also have a nice house but still have to wait to be reborn. When there are a beautiful mother and a talented father who is the eldest son of a big family and holds a high position in the society, we will be reborn; if not, we still have to wait for these conditions.So, we will not be reincarnated right after our death but have to wait for many years, sometimes hundreds of years for our reincarnation. During that time, we are a virtuous soul that has a house or a temple and is worshiped by people. And when all conditions for us to be reborn occur, that is, a beautiful woman and a talented man get married. The man is the eldest son of a big family and holds a high position in the society. And when the wife starts to be pregnant, it’s time for our reincarnation.There were some people we do not know what karma they created that after their birth three days, their mothers abandoned them in the entrance to a temple. The temple then raised them and when they grew up, they became monks. This is their karma so their reincarnation had to wait until there were women who were too credulous to be gotten into trouble. These women were too ashamed of themselves that they left home and gave births in another place. Although they loved their babies very much, they couldn’t take them to their homeland. Consequently, after a few days of their children’s births, they abandon them in front of temples. This is the karma of some people, so they have to wait until many conditions happen.While waiting for reincarnation, our spirit temporarily stays in the metaphysical realm. #Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaOrderMonastery,

  THE FAIRNESS OF THE KARMIC LAW

  PART VI - LOVING THE LAW OF KARMA IS LOVING FAIRNESS

  Aug 17, 202617 min

  PART VI - LOVING THE LAW OF KARMA IS LOVING FAIRNESSThe outstanding feature of the law of Karma is fairness and it is also the law’s greatest thing. There were some people who first heard of the law of Karma hesitated to ask us, “Dear Master, how can we prove we reap what we have sowed? Based on science we cannot see that. Still, we see many wicked people are rich while good people are poor, although I believe in our Buddha’s teaching that is one good turn deserves another. We love the fairness of the law of Karma but still have doubts about it.”The truth is many of us do not have enough wisdom to recognize the way of the law of Karma. Only saints can but not common people. However, we still believe in and accept it, but why? – It is because of its fairness. We love the fairness, so we accept the law of Karma and teach it to our descendants although we are not able to recognize its presence.So are those who believe in the law of Karma moral? Yes, certainly, because only moral people love fairness and because of loving fairness they accept the law of Karma.If someone says, “I do not believe in the law of Karma because science cannot prove its presence,” then we should know that person is unethical. Why is that so? Because they don’t love fairness and they will commit sin for sure. If unfortunately, they are officials, they will make corrupt use of their positions. And if they are normal people, they always think a way to get others’ money.In economics, there is a definition of making money that is, how to get others’ money, just simply like that. Actually, it is not as simple as we say because money is nearly everything to us, so it’s not easy to take money from others unless we make them happy or provide them what they wish. For example, if they want to buy gold, we will sell them gold; if they want a car, we sell them a car, then we can take their money. That means we have to offer them something or services. Many people don’t love fairness and want to make money as easy as possible, so they will deceive others or steal things from them. They are unethical and will be punished first by the State law and second by the law of Karma. Human law maybe misses something but the law or Karma never misses a detail. It is very scary!Men love fairness, so they create laws and courts for trial; otherwise, there are no differences between humans and animals in the forest. Animals in the forest live in a way that stronger ones will win. When a tiger kills a prey, it does not think if it is right or wrong but just its food. Men do not live in this way. When someone harms someone else, the law and the court will intervene. No matter how rich or poor you are, everyone is equal before the law. We are beyond animals because we create the law and court.In ancient times, the law is very simple and as time goes by it becomes more and more sophisticated as the more civilized and intellectual humans are, the more they love fairness. How is it? In a Taiwanese film about the official tried cases in ancient time, we see the law in those days was very simple. If someone killed someone else, he would be killed without extenuating circumstances. At that time, although the official was upright and intellectual but the civilization of that time is not as advanced as of now. Nowadays, to try a murder, we must consider many aspects including the motives, circumstances, and facts, it is not just like a murderer will be executed as in ancient times.There was a tragic story about a boy who was still in adolescence murdered his stepfather and was arrested. One of his neighbors told the police the boy’s family’s situation. His stepfather was too cruel that he mercilessly tormented his mother and siblings in a very long time. #Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery,

  THE FAIRNESS OF THE KARMIC LAW

  PART V - THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT: WHAT WE CAUSE OTHERS WILL RETURN TO US

  Aug 16, 202616 min

  PART V - THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT: WHAT WE CAUSE OTHERS WILL RETURN TO US We talk this topic to help each of us know what cause will result in what effect so that we can determine what we should do to get good results and what we should not do to avoid bad results. The law of Cause and Effect is absolutely fair and no one can cheat it. We often hear, “One good turn deserves another,” or “we reap what we have sowed.” That means those who live a righteous life will achieve happiness and those who live a bad life will experience suffering. The basic principle of Buddhism is that if we bring happiness to others, we will find happiness and if we cause others suffering, we will experience suffering. However, the rule is not exactly right because the law of Cause and Effect is extremely complicated and we and other people may think differently. We think we make someone happy but actually, they feel annoyed and when we think we make someone miserable but actually, they feel happy. Therefore, it’s hard for us to know the results for our actions. For example, we hit someone on his face in front of a crowd because we want to make him humiliated. We can easily reason what the retribution for making someone miserable is. That we hit someone in front of a crowd has two causes. The first cause is making that person physically painful and the second cause is defaming that person. So, in the future we will be hit and defamed. The longer our retribution comes, the more terrible it will be. That is unlikely that the person whom we hit will later hit us in front of a crowd like the way we treated him. Perhaps we will be hung and tortured in a public yard so that everyone can see us in a terrible situation. The retribution will be multiple times more terrible than what we caused. For example, in our neighborhood, there is a child who is ethical and does well in school. He respects the elderly and helps the disabled. So in a parent-teacher conference or in a meeting of neighbors we praise and give him a bicycle as a gift. We invite his parents and several people to join the meeting and say, “I see though your child is young but very well-behaved and study well, so I am on behalf of these people here praise him and give him a bicycle as a gift.” This action has two causes. The first cause is about giving alms and the second cause is to honor the child in front of people. Because we produce two causes so that we will get two different results. What are they? Maybe not in this life but in our next life, we will become a world - famous scientist or a professor that will win a world prize because we will get more than what we give. We just praise a child in front of people and in our next life we will win a world prize and maybe earn a big amount of money. Producing a cause is similar to sowing a litchi seed or a grain of rice, it will develop into a tree and will give us so many grains of rice or a lot of litchis. Likewise, if we do an evil thing, we will experience suffering in a very long time. When we do a good thing, we maybe enjoy its good results in all our life and maybe in next lives. The results and retribution, according to the law of Karma, are very great or terrible like that. So, those who understand the law of Karma are always careful with their actions and words. There are things that we think are good but others think otherwise. For example, on our teacher’s birthday, we give her a birthday cake as a way of expressing our gratitude to her. The cake is made of flour, eggs, sugar, milk, cream, and fat. We think our teacher will be happy with this cake. However, unexpectedly, she is on diet to reduce sugar and fat in blood. We want our teacher to be happy but the result is the opposite. The retribution for such an action is hard to predict.#Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery
