Karma, Reincarnation and Rebirth Tapa blanda - 2002

Información de la editorial

This reader concerns the understanding of the cause and effect of Karma and how Karma can offer profound insight into our behaviour and personality. The last great mystery of life is death. There is enormous curiosity and fascination with the afterlife, but few convincing answers in western culture. Notions of heaven and hell strike many people today as simplistic. Buddhism, on the other hand, presents a compelling philosophy concerning Karma and reincarnation. In simple terms, Karma is a cause and effect process - the function of being born again and again as a result of previous actions. Karma is the balancing mechanism in nature. If we push against nature, nature will push back. Karma and rebirth goes beyond the concepts of birth and death. Using exercises and meditations, Diana St Ruth analyzes this Buddhist natural law of Karma offering us an understanding of how our Karma is key to our behaviour and the way we operate in the world. Essentially the law of Karma is the law of ourselves, the law of our inner lives. So this book is a key to understanding ourselves on the deepest level.
