[Buddha-l] A social critique of socialised karma doctrine inThailand

[jkirk]

Huh?
The inevitabilityof death is not the point here. It is not relevant to
the sufferings of people left in poverty by the successes of
business, whether big or little business.
Those mafias etc spoken of by the Thai monk who wrote that article
smugly congratulate themselves on their successes and their alleged
merit without even thinking of the others--the poor slaves, cheap employees
and villagers-- who made it possible.
