    The best and simplest analogy I ever heard about karma came from S.N. Goenka: 'If you plant a mango tree, you get mangos. Don't plant a bitter neem tree if you want sweet mangos.' So simple, but so true. We are constantly doing things which do not align with the outcomes we desire, and we are so often unaware of it. We need to realise this truth to be free.

    For people who haven't reach a certain understanding through practice and not mere reading books, it is difficult for them to change the conditions they were born in and hence being 'trapped in the six realms of consciousness'. That is, ordering coffee in this example. One will need to 'accumulate' sufficient merits to change or upgrade conditions of their existence, in practice. One cannot just virtualise oneself out of the predicament one find oneself is in. Very good explanation given here by this lama ❤

    Karma in my opinion is not predestined. If it were, then it would fatalistic. Karma is dynamic. Is karma free will? It is not either. Our decisions, actions etc are the results of our upbringing at home, based on culture, traditions, beliefs, customs, the information that we get, education etc. How could it be free will if in Buddhism, everything hinges from the law of cause and effect. So, in short, our actions are not predestined. There is no authority that controls you to do this or that, you have choices. But actions are not free will either as why you do something, or the way you think and behave depends on so many factors; culture, faiths, traditions, the way you were brought up in the family etc

    So in other words life is a dream and people are asking on the level of dream, not realising that on the level truth, it being a dream means it (just like in a dream) isn’t real, only realised once you wake up (enlightenment). Hence the answer being, on the level of dream, karma is cause and effect, but on the level of truth, an illusion

      As I write this there are 83 comments and you are the only one who gets it and/or expresses clearly: life is but a dream (suggesting that life is a dream is the fastest way to end any conversation, that's why Dzongsar Khyentse is so careful, I guess). But unlike other dreams the dream goes on after awakening: lucid living. You still experience life as the person you previously exclusively identified with but you now know that you are dreaming and therefore your essential nature is consciousness. As in any dream.

    Free will is actually not free, it has its cause conditions and motivation

    • @freetibet1000
      @freetibet1000 Місяць тому

      Exactly! You summed it up very well. In the name of “free will” people build themselves a prison. Their “free actions” and “free responses” lay the foundations for future imprisonment through the establishment of causes and conditions to ripen later in the form of limitations and obstructions. The underlying motivation for their “free expressions” pave the way for future experiences of non-freedom. The root cause for the yearning for “free expression” can be found in the non-acceptance of the present moment and the underlying identification with a self. The only escape is through an absolute acceptance of our TRUE NATURE AS INDIVISIBLE WITH THE TRUE NATURE OF ALL PHENOMENA. Our inability to accept that reality will have consequences, such as the endless accumulation of karma.
      The skilful Path is the way of sowing beneficial seeds of karma that eventually will lead to the realisation of true reality beyond the impact of karma. Karma can never be the “producer” of insight and enlightenment. Only our primordial wisdom, inherent within every living being, can be the direct cause for Buddhahood and enlightenment. Nevertheless, beneficial or positive karma is said to be of vital importance to clear the way for our own wisdom to arise. The process of accumulating beneficial karma is sometimes call to accumulate merit within the Buddhist traditions. To be skilful in this regard means to know what activities through body, speech and mind that’s really conducive to positive ripening of karma. That’s where the teachings of the Buddha really shines! The Buddha have through the three turnings of the Wheel of the Dharma laid out the perfect path for us to follow, since we are in no state to determine on our own what constitutes real beneficial practices. And also what to avoid as well.
      To be able to transcend samsara we must learn to utilise the present means at our disposal instead of daydreaming about a state beyond this reality. That begins with the humble acceptance of whatever situation we happens to be in right now. The principles of karma is at the core of our present situation, no doubt about it! The only free choice we have is to accept the present moment as it is. That where we must begin! To accept something does not mean to cling or wish for something. It does not mean we want to encourage all those factors that’s holds us back from deeper insights, but it also doesn’t mean we make our ignorance and clinging into an enemy to be fought against either. It just simply means to accept whatever conditions we’re locked up in at the moment, and then work with that in whatever skilful ways we can. Due to emptiness, impermanence and the truth of interdependent origination we will find ways to walk our path towards greater insights and eventual liberation if we learn to be skilful in our understanding towards our present situation and the relative principles of karma. In this way karma can become our best ally in our progress towards liberation.

    There is no choice but to be in the frame of the movie in conjunction with all else that is in that frame. The image in the frame changes from frame to frame and the identity "your name here" acts in perfect harmony with the rest of the image in the frame (the frame being your immediate experience). The only thing that you have agency over is WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR ATTENTION within the frame.
    Karma is the attempt to do something as an individually existing separate self within the frame. The illusion (created by language) is that there is a separately existing "I" that is determining the actions of "your name here."
    So we are free as to what we pay attention to in each frame of the movie but we cannot change anything about the image appearing in the frame

    Carma means action.There is no free will just options. The more options one has the more free he feels. That is why when you have money you feel more free because you have plenty of choices. Choices give the illusion of freedom. That is how they enslaved us. It was easy though. People do not like truth and responsibility. The more you do the more Carma you create. So try to do nice things that will justifie your Carma. One has to learn to live peacefully within him self. Time and Space do not exist. They are just qualities of the mind. Reality is the result of our consiousnes's participation. That is why i believe there is no free will. The think is that even though i am conviced for what i believe i am sure that i am totally wrong. But that is how it works. Like the cup of coffee....anyway....hard times are ahead.

    The way I understand it is that it is both. For example, if I have been greedy all my life, that habitual tendency would strongly affect my next action. It is thus pre-destined as a result of my prior actions. However, this does NOT mean I cannot stop being greedy if I really want to. Looking at it from this angle, it is then free will.

    Understand this way , you are standing and asked to take one of your feet above the ground ( now you are free can choose whichever feet) once you lifted one of the feet if asked to again lift other feet too … you can’t your free will is gone now as there is already existing cause so karna dictates free will or precisely said destiny
    Since we can never know the full causal chain of karma we can pretend to use free will to take the best course of action …intended result may or may not bear fruit that’s the best one can do .

    ในโลกที่คุณตื่นนั้น คุณไม่กระทำกรรมใดๆ อีกแล้ว คุณจะไม่กระทำกรรมชั่วแน่ๆ คุณปรารถนาดีต่อเพื่อนมนุษย์ แต่คุณไม่มีภาระผูกพันกับการต้องกระทำความดี
    As long as you remain unable to awaken from your dream, karma functions as your reality. In other words, until you attain Arahantship and achieve enlightenment, it is advisable to avoid engaging in negative karma. Focus on cultivating positive actions, as they directly influence the course of your life. This is particularly relevant because you are still bound by the limitations of your dreams. Upon awakening from a dream, the realization dawns that karma holds no true significance; it is merely an illusion. In the world beyond your dreams, there is no longer a concept of karma. With this understanding, you naturally refrain from generating negative karma and instead harbor good intentions for your fellow human beings. While there is no obligation to do good, the absence of negative karma becomes an inherent aspect of your awakened state.

    Think of karma as a train that's headed somewhere fueled by your past actions and you are the passenger. There is no free will when you are the passenger. But you have the opportunity to upgrade yourself to the front operator cabin where you gain clarity in vision and take full control of the train. Clarity and control is free will but true free will's purpose is to bring the train to a complete stop nothing more nothing less.

  • @user-yo2ki7vu7d
    @user-yo2ki7vu7d 5 місяців тому +1

    Karma of this life depends on past life and current life. The current life is either an upgrade or degrade of the last one. So there will be similar cycles repeated. However if the karma's of this life resolved he escapes the Samsara of this current life and above up-to the level of soul.
    We are under mahamaya of consciousness that means a dreamer soul is dreaming the whole universe and we are partakers of that objective dream. Free will is only there to chose the right karma and dharma according to one's own inner effort, otherwise they d ignore and stuck in the loop called Samsara. Freewill depends on previous life and evolution in this life as they chose to be on right path with right actions truthfully and righteously. So freewill isn't the element. Predestined as you said as we live in a big dream of Mahamaya . A dream within a dream like. May be Chain of dreams. You need to get out of each dream or samsara. If there is cycle repeating then it's a test and failure of the previous attempts. You'd need to fix some karma to align with truth to break that cycle. Also need to fix inner against honesty and truthfulness. You can't pour karuna to evils and if so you'd lose the test for misusing and the cycle repeats until you fix inner and then such karmas where you compromise. Otherwise you'd be tested by evils to see if you are again feeding them with Karuna. Likewise many other areas or cycles.
    There is no observer or knower in Buddhism but actually there is. Beyond Buddha or demigods, param atma and parambrahm. They are not observers but all seeing. Buddha never attained it in his life time. May be Maitreya will. Enlightenment starts at fifth dimension. And conscious is infinite and then emptiness. None cross these two phases in zen. And above them the light that comes from the formless source param brahm. They are not entities but the source of everything including galactic beings representing every species unlike trinity or demigods. Most people don't know above than Trinity. anything except the source are Maya means temporary. Aliens work for the source not for lower gods. Buddha has nothing to do with aliens or higher beings as he was only an enlightened being who never climbed more than emptiness. Once you access the light internal the whole body becomes light and transparent. And nowhere in history anyone reached such peak. The source has its own flow and dream and god's follow it to full fill and humans act accordingly. Some don't and resist called evils. The ultimate aim is total liberation not just humans or a religious cult. It's beyond oneness or emptiness but pure light vaster than Sun. That's how it can be expressed and its beyond Tao of Lao Tzu. Everyone just copy paste from books but have the experience and identify each states without much ego. Humans are no gurus so please don't treat them supreme. Be it any religion or group. Seek within.

    The real trueself the SPIRIT has no karmas.. when spirit descended and dressed up with MIND, karmas started.. the mind created multiple events one after the other, and past lives.. for New spirits descending down for the first time, past lives were created by the mind, even though they did not participated in past lives..
    Main reasons of SPIRITS descending down to earth was to have and gain all Types of EXPERIENCES, goodness n badness,, together...so inorder to have experiences the Spirit moved from the lower kingdoms to higher kingdoms finally to human body.. human body is the highest more higher then Angels..
    Yes karmas are predestined, because we picked them up when we descended into realms of MIND WHERE AKASHIC RECORDS ARE KEPT.. THAT WAS NOT GOD IT WAS THE UNIVERSAL MIND, WHERE ALL MINDS ORIGINATED..
    FREE WILL IS GIVEN IN HUMAN BIRTH ONLY, IT IS FOR SEEKING FOR GOD ONLY.. USE IT FOR SEEKING GOD THAT S ALL..
    EVEN IF YOU GO TO THE VERY BEST HEAVENS YOU WON T ABLE TO DO SEEKING FOR GOD THERE, BECAUSE THERE YOU LOOSES YOR FREE WILL..
    SEEKING FOR ONE GOD, IS ONLY DONE IN A HUMAN BIRTH ONLY..
    WE MUST GO BEYOND THE MIND TO BREAK AWAY FROM CYCLE OF BIRTHS AND REPEATED DEATHS... OUR HIGHER TRUESELF NEVER DIES..
    THE BIGGEST SUFFERINGS AMONG ALL TYPES OF SUFFERINGS IS REPEATED DEATHS.

    This is the most confused person and answer i saw. Guru is supposed to simplify. He has overly complicated it, and dint answer the Q.
    Here is my learnings from Hinduism (parent of Buddhism -- buddhi means intelect in Sanskrit)
    1) intellect is fluid and two sided knife. U can cut in anyway u want (free will). So, dont depend on it overly (mistake of the above presenter). Its a tool to be used carefully in a limited setup.
    2) karma ia basically cause n effect.
    3) at macro level, key milestones in ur journey are predestined.
    Based on your freewill you will reach the milestones in different paths. Your karma dictates the degree of pain/misery/happyness in your path.
    3) if u work and build a strong freewill, using karma, you can change the predestined milestones , and make your own path and destination (if u really desire so).
