Nichiren said “ it’s not possible to fathom one’s karma”, but that fell on so many deaf ears of those who are busting to make karmic readings of just about anyone ! Creating good karma is a better focus. Standing up to evil is my strategy ! Been doing it all my life …~Katie
something so simple as knowing right from wrong , perceiving the true nature of secular matters does not underpin the remarks by this blogger. it makes one pause and consider how slandering believers affects the mind, does it not? same ignorance and careless remarks exist across the spectrum of believers , not just the province of this blogger. however this blog is a form of documentary proof of the effects of , let’s say, trashing believers . here are actual proof lessons and I find that to be the value of Eagle Peak. same thing on arbn where the insanity was rampant. everyone and everything becomes a teacher for those who embrace Myoho Renge Kyo.
Karmic retribution is inevitable and it doesn't make the sufferings of the people on both sides any less horrific, especially the children, elderly, sick, and disabled.
Ukraine is like Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, northern Japan. I have traveled outside my country. Ukraine is a hard place. Many countries are becoming hard places. The people who have semi comfortable lives, or are brain washed, are not being honest. Complete anarchy destroys countries. The internet is kind of silly but it is also serious.
We have only this moment to reckon with. Not a single person alive in Mappo who is not guilty of slander. I’d say it only makes sense to grapple with our own present moment “ minds”. To eradicate sins of slander,Nichiren taught embracing Myoho renge kyo! To me, thst means having correct thoughts, words and actions NOW. We don’t change the past, but have , through faith, the opportunity to transform the future. It’s going to be along battle ! But look how perturbed you all are following Marks lead ? No guts, no glory! ~ Katie
doing karma readings? better get your own in order first, man. same for marko loco! like you care about the suffering of others. to you guys, others are your targets for condemnation post your ego- based judgements.
That you are incapable of seeing the past causes (karma) for the effects (karmic retribution) at present is neither the Lotus Sutra's, Nichiren's, nor my fault. Itis due to your lack of faith, weak practice, and poor study.
What past karma caused you to miss the disaster Trump was/is/will be? If I were you, I would stay silent-- re: matters on Buddhism and the secular world until I figured that out. ~Katie
All we have is this moment- re: Making correct causes from correct thoughts and words. Meaning, what we do now responding to our karmic predicaments is what matters... same for Ukrainians. From there the main consideration for a true believer in the Lotus Sutra would be the horrific causes made by Putin and his military. They are acting out their personal hatred and fears, while Ukrainians who neither provoked nor ever intended to attack Russia are defending their freedom and right to exist as a sovereign nation. If you talk in terms of Ukraine "deserving this unlawful. terrorist attack" you miss the whole point of the Lotus Sutra--- from this moment, with clear perceptions of right and wrong-- not "continue the cycle of suffering with foot notes". Armchair- "ivory tower" karma readings benefit no one! ~Katie .
