What's your take on Karma?
 

As the Buddha taught:

"Do not think a small sin will not return in your future lives.
Just as falling drops of water will fill a large container,
The little sins that steadfast accumulate will completely overwhelm you.

Do not think a small virtue will not return in your future lives.
Just as falling drops of water will fill a large container,
The little virtues that steadfast accumulate will completely overwhelm you."

I'm a FIRM beleiver that if you do good, good things will happen to you. The same goes for spreading lies and being malicious.

The think I like about Karma is how it's INSTANT.

I think all religions fundamentally teach the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", Jesus simply taught people to be good to one another, Buddhism is about following the middle path. You get what you give, the energy that you put out into the world will return to you, what type of energy is up to you.

"What goes around, comes around," - It's more than just a saying :)

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you...
(The Golden Rule)

It's what my grandmother taught me, and I try to live by it.

Well, if it's true, it takes a while before it takes effect! (In my case anyway)...

Sophie.

If you do good things, good things will happen to you. If you are a dick you'll get what you deserve.

This is why people with drama filled lives have nothing but, well, drama in their lives.

I completely believe in Karma. It's certainly bitten me in the ass enough times. Boy did I learn quick! In time, everyone really does seem to get what's coming to them.

What a load of crap.

The universe is energy. You send out bad energy, you attract bad energy.

Karma is very real imho.

Definitely real! It is somewhat different for each person in the way it's returned etc, but it is there.

Nah, it's true. ;)

I agree, it's all bullshit.
