Karma is real. The other night playing Team Fortress 2 I helped somebody get an achievement for free. In return he helped me get an achievement!

I call that good karma. You do good unto others and they'll do good unto you.

win-win

Blew my mind..

my sister stabbed me in the back and the next day totaled her car

either way the bitch deserved it

yes it is, if you make good you receive good
and if make bad you receive bad

so i am pretty sure karma exists :)

Tell that to the retards at Christian fellowship forum. Troll that thing once and you get 20% warn for life. Forgive our brother my ass.

somehow someway... its true... you womanize and sooner or later you get stuck with 6 kids and 6 different child support checks... you shit all over your employee's and then the manager gets stabbed by a derranged customer... you donate money to a bum on the street and like magic you find twice your money back on a bench at the mall... the things i've heard go on and on

only if you think it is

Likewise there are people who womanize early on and don't father any illegitimate children or get any STDs, then settle down later in life and have a very happy family. There are people who shit all of their employees and then get promoted or find better jobs in other companies. There are people who donate money to the homeless and then later get stabbed and left in an alley.

Things like this go on and on as well.

As a buddhist I see it in your interpretative way, bentherdonethat. Just cuz I'm a buddhist doesn't mean that I cannot give leeway to science and common sense. BUT, at the same time, the buddhist concept of karma is based on cause and effect and empitness, and therefore our actions have reprecussions across everything else. The reason why karma works is not because the universe says it must, but because our actions work within a matrix of cause and effect that is impossibe to determine what will happen to what. If karma exists in this manner then it willl be impossible to determine what is karma and what is simply determinism.

I do not believe this is part of the buddhist religion
