Absolutely! Kamma (karma) is complex, primarily because it operates according to the principle of paṭicca-samuppāda (dependent origination). This interdependent chain shows how causes and conditions create a web of outcomes, and kamma is a prime example. Each action, volitional thought, or word we express depends on previous causes and conditions and, in turn, becomes a condition for future events. So, instead of a simplistic “cause and effect,” kamma aligns with a process where everything influences and is influenced, highlighting that actions carry different consequences depending on context and intent. This interconnectedness also reinforces the Buddha’s teaching on anattā (non-self) since there’s no permanent self directing kamma but rather a flow of conditioned events. So, in that way, comprehending kamma does indeed demand insight into dependent origination, as it points to a natural, fluid unfolding rather than a straightforward moral tally system.
Who could possibly remember all these different karmas! So my thoughts are why worry about any of it? I’m just focusing on what my bad habits are from good 😊 nes and to over come my bad 😣 nes.
Your perspective is very insightful! It's true that the complexity of karma can sometimes feel overwhelming. The Buddha taught that instead of getting caught up in the vast web of past actions, it’s more important to focus on the present moment and the actions we can take now. By recognizing our good qualities and bad habits, we have the opportunity to gradually transform ourselves. Focusing on overcoming our bad tendencies through mindfulness, self-discipline, and compassion is a beautiful path. As you continue to work on recognizing and transforming your habits, you’re already creating positive karma in the present moment. Don’t worry too much about the past or future-just focus on cultivating wisdom, kindness, and awareness now. That in itself is a powerful way to move forward. May your journey bring you peace and growth! 🙏💖
Buddhism is Hinduism with a twist..😊 Lord Krishna on bhagwad Gita has mentioned karma and guna which is responsible for birth and happiness ,sadness etc... The gunas are satvik,rajo,tamsi...
It's interesting to see the parallels between Hinduism and Buddhism, especially when it comes to concepts like karma and qualities of the mind and body. Both traditions explore how actions and mental states shape experiences and rebirth. The Bhagavad Gita's teachings on karma and the gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas) provide a framework similar to the Buddhist exploration of mind states and karma’s role in the cycle of rebirth. However, while the Buddha was initially influenced by the teachings of his time, he eventually charted a unique path. Unlike the Gita’s integration of dharma (duty) and devotion to a divine figure, the Buddha emphasized self-reliance and direct observation of suffering (dukkha), its origin, cessation, and the path leading to its end (the Four Noble Truths). This approach offers a different lens, focusing on transcending all states, including the gunas, to reach Nibbana, a state beyond all worldly conditions. Both systems offer profound insights, and while there are overlaps, each has a unique view on liberation and the means to achieve it.
Karma is just ur deeds and its impact on you and ur society - this is what buddha said period. Pls donot spread the corrupted definitions and stories of karma.
Yes, the Buddha's teachings on karma focus on the ethical impact of our actions, emphasizing how our intentions (or "cetana") shape not just our personal experiences but also the collective well-being. Karma is often simplified or misunderstood as fate or cosmic justice, but the Buddha emphasized it as a natural law of cause and effect within our own minds and actions. In essence, karma is about personal responsibility and moral causation. Good deeds lead to positive mental states and, ultimately, greater peace and happiness, while harmful actions lead to negative consequences in our own minds and potentially affect others. The Buddha's approach was straightforward, practical, and ethical-grounded in personal choice and accountability. Thank you for advocating for this clarity!
Absolutely, you’ve touched on a profound truth! Kamma (karma) aligns with the doctrine of dependent origination (paticca-samuppāda), which teaches that all phenomena arise due to causes and conditions. Kamma is not an isolated force-it operates within the web of cause and effect. Actions (kamma)-whether through body, speech, or mind-create results (vipāka) based on the conditions they are tied to. These results manifest when conducive conditions arise, highlighting the interconnected nature of all existence. Dependent origination explains this beautifully: Ignorance (avijjā) conditions volitional actions (saṅkhārā), which then give rise to consciousness (viññāṇa), and onward through the chain to craving (taṇhā), clinging (upādāna), and becoming (bhava), which perpetuate the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsāra). So, kamma is not deterministic but conditional. The Buddha teaches that while past kamma influences the present, your present actions (new kamma) can change the trajectory of your life and lead toward liberation (Nibbāna). This empowers us to take responsibility for our actions and transform our future. In essence, comprehending kamma through dependent origination reveals: The impermanence of all phenomena. The non-self (anattā) nature of existence. The freedom to create new conditions for awakening. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu! 🌻🍵❤️ Let me know if you’d like a deeper breakdown of any link in the chain.
The video is so great and meaningful, wishing the channel to grow.

Kamma is said to be difficult to comprehend, but it follows the doctrine of dependent origination as all phenomenon.
