TRANSCENDING THE CYCLE OF KARMA Karma is a broad term which includes all the wrongs one has done to others (or to oneself) in the past and which are meant to bring forth some corresponding negative experiences in the present or future of one’s life. Over the courses of many lifetimes on Earth, we often accumulate karma by repeating the same mistake, often with the same people around us. Although there are also positive karma which also bring forth corresponding positive experiences or “good lucks” in a person’s life, the idea of karma is often associated with the negative experiences. So in that regard, a person’s karmic profile can be understood as the sum total of all the tough lessons that the person is yet to learn the by experiencing them, and this “threat” makes the concept of karma as a very un-cool one to accept by many people. It is very depressing for many people to consider that they may be suffering now because of some obscure reason in a past they no longer have any memory of. But unfortunately, whether you want to believe it or not, it won’t change the fact that each and every action you make now or have made in the past will produce its corresponding consequence sooner or later during your current or your next lifetime. And you do not necessarily have to know or even remember the cause for your current bad experiences, because the purpose for your bad karma is not just to punish you for what you did, but to teach you in practical terms about certain lessons of life you have forgotten . For instance, if you could clearly remember that the reason why you were abandoned and left to grow as a begger and a street kid in this life was because in your previous life you also forsook your children and left them to face a similar fate, you will be thinking about your current condition as a punishment (and you will be busy asking heaven for forgiveness), instead of learning and understanding what it feels like to be abandoned so that you won’t repeat the same mistake again next time you have the opportunity of looking after those helpless ones under your care. Your regret will be similar to a thief who regrets for getting caught and not for the act of theft he/she was engaged in, and if given another chance, the person will only make sure not to get caught again instead of refraining from theft. If you begin to clearly see the correlation between what you did to others (say you shot someone by the leg) and what happens to you latter (i.e. you also get shot by the leg), then it means that the all-knowing Universe judges that you are being very careless about the actions you do to others and so it wishes shake you up in a way that you will not mistake it.
