bad things happen=retribution?
-
do u guys agree with the above? when u or yr parents do some bad things either in the past or present life, bad things will happen to u?
-
if u believe in it, then yes
if u dun believe this type of thing, then no -
karma is a bitch. what goes around, comes around.

if you want to know whether karma or retribution is real or not, you can always challenge it. in the Buddhist scriptures, it says there are some bad deeds that you don't need to wait till next life to experience the retribution. the retribution will be in this life, before the person dies. it is bad karma for me to ask you to challenge, so i would rather ask you to observe those people who commit the following bad deeds.
1) ill treat parents
2) defame or kill monks or nuns
there is 1 more which i cannot remember. i've seen the above and believe retribution is all real.

To the buddhist it's like a physics law. Karma to them is like a natural force/law at work in the universe. -

so when the priests are at a loss as to how best explain why young innocent kids die horrible deaths.............they say God works in mysterious ways.............or the kids went early to heaven, etc........or other horsecrap..............
now if God wants these young children to go to heaven early.............
why let them die horrible deaths like being burned alive in accidents or kana killed and mutilated ???!!!
and why cause the parents so much pain and grief ???

That is superstition.Buddhism is a religion based on superstitions and is a false religion.Believe in Jesus!

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." —Isaiah 55:9
How can we expect to understand God.

that's the thing............why do bad things happen to good people and vice versa.........
just like you put the innocent lamb in the desert..........sure die............
or put the fox to guard the chickens..........the fox will ''prosper''.............
situations must be right for both bad or good karma to ripen..............maybe your friend's grandfather bookie did good deeds also in this life or previous life..................his good karma ripen 1st.............
the Law of Karma is like the IRS.............eventually you'll have to pay your taxes...............

Different ppl have different view points. Not all ppl believe in karma.

We should respect each other's beliefs.
No point quarrelling.

I applaud you for your faith but not your statement. How much do you understand about Buddhism? Try to understand before making such a comment.
