Hello everyone Amituofo! Today I would like to share with you The four principles of Cause and Effect. That is, the four Laws of Karma. We all know that Karma is just like a law of nature. It does not matter whether you believe in Buddhism or not, believe in the Law of Cause and Effect or not, it exists in the nature of this universe. It affects our happiness, suffering, and joy all the time. Given our awareness that the Laws of Cause and Effect, as well as Karma, constantly affect us, it becomes essential to learn and comprehend the workings of Cause and Effect and how to mitigate adverse consequences. This way, we can clearly understand how to plant causes of joy as we cultivate in this lifetime, to lead to the fruition of joy in the future. So what are the four Laws of Karma? The first Law of Karma, Karma determines the outcome. The first Law of Karma, Karma determines the outcome. The bad Karma, good Karma, or morally indeterminate Karma of body, speech and mind we have created today, will continue to the next second, the next minute, tomorrow, next year, the end of this life term, as well as the next life, until the Karma comes to fruition. The continuous stream of one's Karma. This is the first Law of Karma. The second Law of Karma is that Karma will infinitely grow and expand. In other words, a good deed you did today, its good Karma won't disappear just because you don't do it tomorrow. No. The good deed we did today, even if we don't do it tomorrow, its good Karma is always there. Not only till the end of this lifetime, but to the next lifetime. On the other hand, if what we have done today is a bad Karma, a bad cause, it doesn't mean that if we won't do it tomorrow the bad Karma we created today will disappear. No. The Karma will infinitely grow and expand. What I just discussed were the continuous and unceasing characteristics of Karma. It will last from today to tomorrow to this life and the next. It’s not just continuous. It is also expanding. The concept of expanding is akin to the notion of a sapling sprouting and thriving. Both good and bad Karma will continue to grow and expand. It will continue with our lives every day, and on. So this is the second Law of Karma, which is that Karma will infinitely grow and expand. The third Law of Karma is: Karma is not encountered unless it is created In other words, if we do not plant the cause, the result will never happen to us. Regardless of whether the result is good or bad, it is undoubtedly caused by our own actions. Thus, we bear the corresponding consequences. This third Law of Karma is: Karma is not encountered unless it is created. It means that for the Karma you did not create the cause for, it won't be attributed to you by someone else, bestowed upon you by someone else, or falsely accused against you by someone else. You must have created it yourself. This karma of body, speech and mind. The fourth is that the Karma that has been created will never disappear. As I explained earlier, Karma has the property of being continuous. So this Karma will not disappear. it will continue to exist. So this is the fourth Law of Karma. The so-called Law of Karma doesn't mean that once something is set, it can't be changed. In fact, Cause and Effect are changing every second. Some might appear to be hidden. For example, when a group of friends dine out, everyone takes a little advantage. Among ten friends, I am the tenth. The nine friends realized that the boss had made an error in calculating the bill. Each person should have been charged a hundred dollars, but he overlooked one individual in the tally. These nine friends made a decision to not to inform the boss. Instead, they handed over the money for nine people, totaling nine hundred dollars. Even though in that moment, you felt it might not be right, and it appeared somewhat dishonest you did not prevent them from doing so. So you just followed suit and collectively fulfilled this karmic action, which is to give 900 dollars to the boss, overlooking one individual. So this Karma doesn’t seem to be done by us. We are just following everyone's decision. So is this not also an act we make with our body and mind? Does it not have its power, not have its consequences? yes. If, as you listen to my video now, you find that the Law of Karma is immensely profound and can very well assist us in crafting a happier life, then you are already altering your destiny at this very moment. Because you now hold the reins, you have shifted from passively, passively accepting all the consequences of the past, whether good or bad. You have now become proactive. You have the serve, and you actively create good Karma. This good Karma can be cultivated by making positive aspirations and committing to action while listening to me discussing this Dharma right now. At this very moment, you are already in the process of generating good karma. And this good Karma will definitely bear fruit in the future. The Karma we created, regardless whether it’s bad or good Karma, or like the situation I just described, not voluntary on our part, we are merely passive participants in this action, this mind activity also has its power. This power is Karma. This is my short sharing of today. I will create a second video about the Law of Karma. I will further share with you how we can properly repent for the negative Karma we have created in the past. At the same time, how do we accumulate our good Karma? Let us be happy and peaceful. I think that this is what I am sharing with you today. I hope it can be helpful to you all to better understand what the Law of Karma is. So I'm very rejoiced that you are joining me in this vast ocean of Buddhism. Learn what the Law of Karma is. I also hope this video will benefit you. I'll see you next time. Amituofo!
