Can we finally admit that Karma doesn't exist?

[Menelik II]

the "doing the work" part is "karma"

'karma' theory is that the 'universe' serves up the sentence, not people consciously doing it.
That is just revenge and has no new age mysticism behind it

Karma
The lady that caused Emmitt Teals death still alive at 82.
The nazis lady just died at 106.
Maybe the karma is them living with that guilt for many years.

The problem is most westerners try to look at eastern philosophy from their perspective which is based on a collection of enlightenment and judeo christian philosophy which features concepts such as crime and public punishment ,empirical wrong and right ,virtue and justice and transpose those directly onto eastern philosophy .
Its not that Karma doesnt exist...you really just dont understand what it is.

This. From the buddhist literature Ive read, karma is described as the action itself and not the result of the action. But for some reason westerners have adopted karma the concept and have diefied it in an attempt to make it a weapon of God.

Karma also refers to judgement.

Your karma determines if you are liberated or if you face the painful cycle of life and death.

Also, the Eastern philosophy folks believe things manifest due to karma among other things.

They are no different than any other faith, instead of saying God did it they say the universe did it, its proven these ideas heavily influenced Christianity.

There are no concept of heaven, hell, or punishment/karma in Judaism. All the Jews believe in is an after life.

the law of karma simply says action applied with intention leads to consequences

that's basic universal law. For a while I couldn't wrap my head around the idea due to prejudices from growing up in a western society. Dependent origination was another that took a while for me to come to it

but that's the point for me, we come to these realizations that people who devoted their lives to understanding themselves tell us. It's all in the wide open

it begins to make sense as the idea that we are separate, long-lasting entities (a person) weakens. if you have room from the beginning you can get with it, but ultimately karma is written about to learn how to be free from karma

so again if karma is simply action applied with intention, to be free from karma is another way of pointing towards the idea of an intentionless life

that is a wonderful way to go through life. which is why these things are even talked about to begin with

its talked about today because these fairy tales are 'for sale'. It's the ultimate cultural appropriation and religious pimpery.

No it doesn't. The basic tenets of buddhism is that life is suffering. It's one of the only religions/philosophys that has man at the center of his salvation and not God or any other otherworldy being. The way i understand it is that karma is an action that takes you further away from your own liberation from suffering, not the result of karma.

I never believed in it. I also found it funny how ppl that say they are Christians believe in it but the word karma itself and the concept comes from Hinduism & Buddhism and link with reincarnation.
I thought it was akin to someone who's not a Christian saying they believe in none of the Bible but believe in the Holy Trinity
