Is Karma And Rebirth Really Plausible?

Karma is a belief in which if you do good, the world will reward you, and if you do bad, it will punish you. Just like in physics where every action has a reaction, is how it is in real life. If you commit a good deed, then somehow, someway, the universe will repay you. Bad actions lead to consequences which is what the universe will be in charge of.

Hinduism is faced with a revolving wheel of life, death and rebirth called Samsara better known as reincarnation. They believe this life cycle is a direct relation to a person’s karma of deeds done. Karma “determines the kind of body, whether human, animal, or insect, into which he or she will be reincarnated in the next

Karma is a belief that Buddhists, Hindus, and Christians believe in. Karma is simply “what goes around, comes around”. However, Buddhists and Hindus believe that karma occurs after reincarnation in the next life. Christians believe that karma can take place in the current life as well. Buddhism and Hinduism also believe in dharma, which are the ethics and duties.

Buddhism began in the fourth and fifth centuries before Christ by Siddhartha Gautama. The teachings of Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, are the major beliefs of Buddhism. Buddhism is a belief and religion based on an assortment of customs, principles, and practices. The name Buddha means the awakened one. Buddha’s teachings were of the termination of suffering, attaining nirvana, and absconding from the cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhism has spread all across Asia and throughout the world, now with between two hundred thirty million and five hundred million followers. Buddhism is largely based around the belief of Karma. Karma is the “action, seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation” (Dictionary.com) or “the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person’s deeds in the previous incarnation.” (Dictionary.com) In simpler words, how you live your life now determines how you will come back when your current soul expires. Buddhists live their lives in hopes of achieving to be placed in the highest state known as Heaven. The after-life stems from Karma and leads into Rebirth. Rebirth is a course of action where humans proceed within multiple lifetimes in one or more of the six states of after-life. Each lifetime begins with birth and ends with death. Buddhists believe that we should not fear death because

This kid today probably has depression issues, from his father hurting his mom and him watching it. He could have killed himself for all we know. Another example is this poor girl. The “father” threw oak logs at her, beat her unconscious, handcuffed her to chairs, and sent her sexual valentines (When A Child Kills A Parent, Does Abuse Forgive The Act?). Imagine the guy who helped bring you into this world wanting to date you and kill you at the same time. Here is another sad story. This one is about a girl who saw her mom being abused by her dad. After one day, however, she was fed up with him. “Howard said that they were fighting, Davis grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the upper chest near his neck. The girl, who heard the argument, came into the kitchen, saw her brother bleeding and saw her battered mother, Howard said. She grabbed another knife and stabbed her stepfather in

Karma is whatever action you do has consequences whether they are good or bad. Karma is in everyday life whether it be a robber a getting arrested for robbing a bank to for somebody receiving money for helping an old lady with some task. Karma was seen wildly throughout the book The Ramayana in each of the character in the book. In this paper we will examine how karma played a role in each of these characters

I believe in karma. Good and bad things happen to everyone, but some people end up a little more unlucky than others. Karma is the belief that positive and negative actions will be rewarded or punished. The reason I think karma is real is because it has happened to me and i’ve seen it happen to others. The times I see it happen most are when I am driving. Sometimes people build up a lot of anger on the road and start flipping people off and yelling at other drivers. One day when I was driving on the highway, I saw one guy who was truly angry at another driver on the road, and it was noticeably easy to see the two were yelling at each other. I saw one of the driver decide to be a jerk and cut the other one off. After the guy cut him off, he

You already know karma is the actions of yours that could determine the future of yours.

Buddhism believes in escaping the cycle of rebirths not through coming to an ultimate soul (it doesn't believe in this), but through Nirvana the ultimate relinquishing of attachment to materialism by transcending response to earthy feeling. In this way, one ends suffering by escaping the cycle of rebirths. and reincarnations. Karma from past life can affect the happenings in a present one according to both Hinduism and Buddhism, but Buddhism believes that one can escape this karma and cycle of rebirths by practicing the 8-fold path which culminates in Nirvana. With this Nirvana too, one gains a spirit of meditation or blissful mindfulness which is the epitome of the Hindu Moksha. (The Buddha Garden.)

Karma is the stuff or gunk that covers up the Jivas and makes things appear to be different. Even though a monk was the only one who could totally free Jivas, lay people could do good deeds and suffer willingly to dissipate karma from their atman. In this movement the final step for a monk to reach Nirvana was the starving to death of one's self.

Buddhism and Jainism both believe in the concept of karma as the force responsible for all of the suffering in existence. Both also acknowledge the absoluteness of karma and its unavoidable effect on the beings who are subject to the cycle of birth and death. But they differ in the concept of the nature of karma and how it impacts the various beings. According to the beliefs held by Jainism, karma is not only a result of a being’s actions, but a real substance that becomes attached to each jiva, or self, while it takes part in many actions throughout the course of its existence. This karma, which is made up of tiny particles, binds to the being until it is cleansed through the observation of the morals and practices of the Jain religion, including pure conduct and severe austerities. There are two types of karma within Jainism, one that is known as “harming” karmas and there is “non-harming” karmas. The karmas can be fully liberated through moksha alone. In Buddhism, as in Hinduism, karma is a consequence of one’s

In Buddhism, Karma has two forms; mental karma and deed karma (Encyclopedia of Religion 266). The two forms both abide by the belief that good or bad actions yield good or bad results. Mental karma is governed by what a person thinks. If a person thinks impure or malicious thoughts, they will build up bad karma during his life, and for pure thoughts, good karma is built up. Deed karma refers to the actions performed physically by a person. As with mental karma, deed karma is the culmination of good karma and bad karma resulting from one’s actions.

In Buddhism the law of karma is the moral law of causation - good actions give good results and vice versa. It is the quality of an act, which determines its consequences. But what determines the karmic quality of a deed? In

“What goes around comes around” is a popular saying worldwide bad deeds never go unpunished. Everything we do or say determine on what’s going to happen to us in the future. Whether we act honestly, dishonestly, help or hurt others. Karma can be divided into good or bad. I believe that if you do something good something good will happen to you. if you do something bad then something bad will happen to you. karma is not something I believe in because of stories told by friends, but because of personal experiences.

As I mentioned that, Karma is a logic of ‘because’ and ‘so’. You can use it as a new means of solving some specific issues. Here is the case, when you are studying about life and death like why there are many students to choose suicide. In order to think the reason of how this situation, you have to know about those students thinking that be like is there any environmental elements push them to death like the pressure from school or parents. And then think further, why they give so much pressure to students. And you will find the answer. You may say that thinking with Karma act like the journalist, to find the deep truth of the fact. But indeed is true. If you did like that, you are able to know much more knowledge than other students while preparing projects or exam. In other words, you win others on the starting
