The theory of karma is extremely difficult to understand and explain, because karma is so profound and infinite that it is beyond the scope of human wisdom. The idea of karma is often misunderstood, because it is extremely difficult to systematically analyze and introduce this idea, so I will only briefly introduce it today. Karma is called karma in Sanskrit, which was translated into karma in ancient China. The root of karma is Kar, which means to do or do. So the origin of karma is the meaning of homework or behavior. Industry is man-made, and strength is strength and exertion. The power and function produced by creation is called work force. This is a neutral term used by Buddhism to explain all causal phenomena in the universe and life. According to Buddhism, the karmic person is the law of cause and effect that controls all phenomena in nature and morality. This explanation seems simple, but if we explore further, we will find the extreme complexity and fuzziness of karmic thought. We can discuss the idea of karma theory from six angles. (a) The Buddhist tradition holds that a single cause often produces many results; For example, if a man kills someone after drinking, this is karma. After waking up from a hangover, a man felt uneasy about his conscience. He not only ruined a person's life for no reason, but also left his wife, children and relatives behind. This extreme conscience pain is the first result of killing karma. Soon after, A was arrested and imprisoned, which was the second result. So a person's career and future are written off, and his family is broken. This is the third result. In addition to this chain reaction, this kind of killing will also lead to the revenge of someone who has been killed in the afterlife and the short-lived gratitude for illness, which is called different ripe fruit in Buddhism. Modern people may think it is too exaggerated when they look at Buddhist scriptures and see karma. For example, in a scripture, it is said that during the robbery, a man once threw a few grains of rice at the Buddha's body while passing by the street to show his support and respect. After many robberies, this man got a report from the wheel saint king, because he supported these grains of rice. He is the master of the world and owns countless lands, castles, wives, jewels and cars. As Buddhist scriptures often say, the retribution of bad karma is incredible. There is a story in the Classic of Wisdom and Fools. Once upon a time, there was a brahmin who, at the instigation of his mother, insulted a monk and cursed him in the name of all animals. With this evil cause, I have had many generations, but I feel a fish body, the first of all animals, miserable. Instigating this Brahman's mother, she also fell into endless hell. There are many such stories in Buddhist scriptures. Modern people usually think that this kind of statement about Buddhism is just a word for Buddhism to persuade people to do good. If the results of good and evil are particularly exaggerated, people can stop evil and do good. All of them are religious pragmatism, which does not necessarily represent the truth. There is a folk story in Tibet. Once upon a time, an old woman went to a Buddhist conference and listened to the story of karma told by the Dalai Lama. After she finished, the old woman went up to the Lama and said: Speaking of karma, if according to the Buddhist scriptures, good deeds are rewarded, not only you, the big Lama, can become a Buddha, but even I, an ordinary old woman, can also become a Buddha. Speaking of bad karma, not only will an old woman like me go to hell, but even a big Lama like you will go to hell! This is an amazing story, a cry from the heart of ordinary people in Tibet, a Buddhist country, and a result of human intuition. Although this passage has aroused infinite sympathy, it is not necessary to agree with the central idea of the theory of employability. Because in karmic phenomena, the amount of fruit is often several times larger than that of cause. As mentioned above, an example of killing people is. There is indeed a philosophical basis in Buddhist scriptures that small causes lead to big fruits, which will be mentioned later. From the religious point of view, this kind of discourse can not only influence religious behavior, but also have a deeper symbolic significance. When telling karma stories in Buddhist scriptures, there are often records of people talking with wild animals and heterogeneous wild animals. In the Miscellaneous Treasure Classic, in the story of white elephants raising their parents, it is affirmed that all animals in ancient times can talk. Today, this kind of story is not only symbolic and educational, but also hard to admit as an out-and-out fact. The naming metaphor of Miscellaneous Analects also shows that the classics have symbolic significance. Having said that, it is an unshakable truth that small businesses recorded in Buddhist scriptures can bear great fruits from the perspective of employability philosophy. The thought of karma is the theory of homogeneous correspondence, not the theory of equal correspondence. For the causal phenomenon of employability, the amount of fruit is often greater than the amount of cause. Buddhists often use natural phenomena to illustrate this principle. For example, a wheat bears more than 100 fruits. I remember a magazine saying that Manhattan Island, the center of new york today, is worth trillions of dollars. It is said that it was bought from an Indian for two dollars two hundred years ago. The value of Manhattan Island today is obviously out of proportion to the price of two dollars that year. However, some people say that if you put two dollars in the bank 200 years ago and calculated with compound interest, it will become a very considerable astronomical figure 200 years later. It is also common in biology that the amount of fruit is greater than the amount of fruit. For example, cells continue to divide and grow to form various individuals: a sperm and an egg combine, split into two, then split into four, and so on, and constantly split to form a human body, with trillions of cells. If the cause of one cell can form the fruit of hundreds of millions of cells, then it may be universal knowledge that the amount of fruit is greater than the amount of cause. Therefore, when we read Buddhist scriptures, we should not only understand the purpose and symbolic meaning of Buddhism, but also understand the philosophical basis behind its symbolic meaning. We should not arbitrarily call it grotesque because of its strange surface. (2) Although karma can bear many fruits for one cause, it cannot bear unlimited fruits. A sperm cell can divide and grow into a human body, including trillions of different cells, but when a human body is finished, the fruit of this sperm is all finished. The children born after this person should be calculated from another causal relationship. Therefore, this primitive sperm is only indirectly related to the child who will reproduce later, and there is no direct relationship. Therefore, a career can bear many fruits, but it can't bear infinite fruits. In other words, limited causes cannot bear infinite fruits, otherwise it will conflict with the corresponding principles of the same kind. Limited karma can't bear infinite fruit, which means that the evil deeds of all beings, no matter how great, will not bring infinite bitter fruit, so Buddhists don't admit that there is eternal hell. Even the longest and most terrible endless hell is not eternal. By the same token, no matter how big the good karma is, it can't make people enter eternal heaven. Therefore, what other religions say about eternal life in heaven is illogical to Buddhism. Therefore, although the existence of heaven (heaven) is recognized in the three worlds cosmology of Buddhism, Buddhism believes that heaven is not eternal. In Buddhism, the pure land of other incarnations is not eternal except the pure land that is often deserted or reported as Buddha. Because the former is the infinite fruit of infinite cause, the latter is still the scope of every finite cause and effect. Whether the Christian heaven or the kingdom of God is a place or a realm, there are different opinions. If it is a place with infinite life, it may also make sense. Because it is acknowledged that God is infinite, and limited people rely on the infinite grace of God, it is also possible to make the limited reach infinity and enter the eternal kingdom of heaven. However, Buddhism is quite strict because of its views on the corresponding principles of the same kind; So only admit that only infinite causes can produce infinite results. Therefore, the relative, persistent and capable good karma, no matter how big, can only be regarded as a leaky good karma and cannot lead to liberation. Only the good karma beyond one's power, which is relative to the good karma held, can be regarded as an infinite scope and can produce infinite or eternal liberation results. In the origin of thought, Buddhism emphasizes self-reliance, which may be closely related to the corresponding thoughts of similar karma. Early Buddhism and Seated Buddhism used a narrow interpretation to distinguish the causal phenomena of karma, and thought that one kind of fruit must be multiple causes, and karma was only one cause. Since then, Buddhism has widely used a broad interpretation, calling the body, purpose, cause and effect of nature karma, and the power of holding the body, showing the use, planting the cause and producing the fruit is power. So the word causality refers to all the causal phenomena in the universe, and the word force is the universe.
