[Buddha-l] on karma

[Wong Weng Fai]

> The same attitude can be found in Tibetan Buddhism.

> Extract from Thrangu Rinpoche's book King of Samadhi:

Again: we need to separate two things. First, the Rinpoche is trying to 
encourage people to do good (albeit because one wants a better rebirth). 
Second, no where did the Rinpoche said, "the starving child in Africa 
therefore deserves it and we should write him off".

At best I find these examples distasteful but certainly not an example of 
"believe in karma = do nothing about social injustice".

How things are is one thing. What you choose to do about it is another.
