Quote.

'Karma (Tib. Ley): action.

The law of cause and effect, through which one experiences the world in accordance with the impressions stored in mind.

These impressions were created through one's actions of body, speech and mind.

This means that beings decide their own future with their present actions.'

-- Quoted from 'Buddha & Love' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.


Commentary.

Study of Karma is important part of Buddhism, as is investigation of the causes of happiness and suffering.

Cause and Effect law is a very vast study field, causes can be found and addressed to everything - from love to physics, economics, weather, esoterics, and more.

Certain events such as stock market crash or weather change have the vast amount of causes - so this study is extremely complex endeavour.

This study involves both root causes as well as intermediary causes.

Not only causes are needed for certain phenomena to arise and hold, there are more permanent conditions as well.

With time reality changes, conditions crumble and rise, causes appear and disappear - so there's the difference between the Timeless Karma Science and Conditioned Karma Study.

Strict sciences based on the Timeless Karma Science are very deep and solid, however - effects of applying such sciences are very infailible and can last for a very long time, considering one's Reincarnation as well.


The Causal Love Science.



... for those interrested in the Causal Love Study, i think there is abstract / focusing on root causes & on high abstraction level, without too many of details / book - 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.

Words in this book might seem detached from reality to those who read and do not know Buddhism, but these work - often after many years of waiting, fight and work.

Lama Ole Nydahl studied Philosophy, so can think abstractly, and provide abstract, far reaching solutions even that many do not see whole chain of cause and effect at first. In my opinion this book is far more than good wishes, positive vibes and good impressions - even that it includes these as well.

Philosophy means 'Love of Wisdom', it's Wise book about Love & Buddism.

When someone really cares for Enlightened Love, he or she should certainly try it in my opinion.

Lama Ole Nydahl succeeded and succeeds in Love, many others who follow him as well - even if this seems hopeless at first, even if it's long and difficult fight.

The root causes are provided as well as guidance how to live, then intermediate causes & results appear as well.

Topics in this book include not only wishing for / creating that way / causes of Love, but also 'how partnership succeeds', forging bonds, 'purifying karma that causes pain', and much more.

There are abstract explainations of important Buddhist concepts as well, as for example 'Four Immeasurables'. In my opinion thse shuld be analyzed, experimented with and included in one's view and practice.

i recommend.
