  6. Burning off Bad Karma

    The concept of burning off bad karma is an interesting one. Does our suffering burn off bad karma? Does our conscious suffering burn off even more?

  22. Is faith an illusion of the mind?

    Alas I am not a great dancer. Whose law of karma is this? Karma simply means action and different people, let alone different faiths, see it working in different ways. One may believe what one likes but still be subject to the same laws. Hence it matters not whether you believe in reincarnation your every act will still receive the appropriate reaction. As regards good or bad consequences - even the judgement of what is good or bad is difficult.

  24. Is faith an illusion of the mind?

    We do not need to believe in reincarnation to believe in the law of cause and effect, though the concept of reincarnation does blend in nicely with the concept of karma. I cannot but believe that you have rather lost sight of the wood for the trees here as karma is simply a word that may mean many different things to different people and is at once more simple and more complex than we may understand. We do not need to use a sanskrit word to describe this concept nor do we need to have any faith in this law for it to effect us. Whether we have "faith" in these laws or not we will still find ourselves subject to them.
