Karma-W

The seed that’s sown, so is the fruit you reap
Doer of the good gather good, evil of evil reaps
Vipaka or result is reaction and action is karma
Every birth is conditioned by good or bad karma

Watch your thoughts, for they become words,
Watch your words, for they become actions
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny
Buddhism preaches five orders or processes
The third order or process , order of act and result
Desirable and desirable relate to good and bad.

Men  not punished for their sins, but by them.
Worthless people blame karma, good atone it.
Whosoever diggeth the pit, shall fall therein

Dr Metha, As usual a sensational piece and I must say I have dug many pits and found it difficult to clime out. Karma is important and only the ignorant will criticize. Thank you for your comment they are valuable to me

Excellent advice, Dr. Ram...let it not be said that warning bells were not sounded. Whoever said "ignorance is bliss" was so wrong-either way you pay a price. Thanks for reading mine and I wish you good luck in the contest! It's going to be a tough one for Nikko. lol Peace, love, Audrey
