[Buddha-l] The results of Karma

[Evelyn Ruut]

Dear fellow list members,



Long ago I decided that it could absolutely make you crazy to try and speculate what action caused what result exactly in a past life or in the present one.   I do believe in karma, as cause and effect, but to split hairs and try to determine and define its reaults exactly is an exercise in futility.  



Some time ago I discovered the following quote, and was thrilled to realize that I wasn't the only one to realize this.



"The results of kamma is an unconjecturable, that is not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness & vexation to anyone who conjectured about it."......Anguttara Nikaya IV.77



Best Regards,


Evelyn
