Re: Do you believe in Karma, Justice?
I don't think that Karma is about the universe punishing those who did wrong or rewarding people who have been good. I don't really believe in 'Karma' as a concept but, from what I've read, I think it's more about attracting the same kind of vibrations you send out to the Universe, rather than someone who did a bad thing to you receiving karmic retribution in a tangible form.So if someone who often acts with unkindness is sending out negative vibes to the Universe, they may not get their come-uppance in obvious ways, but they will continue attracting negativity in their thoughts and never feel the same kind of happiness a positive person feels.
I think this kind of reflects my more practical belief that it's more about your own mental attitude.
Even if someone does something bad to you, the way you react to it and deal with it affects the overall outcome for yourself.
If you have a positive mental attitude and think and act in positive ways, you are more likely to attract and experience positive results and more easily overcome the negativity that others may try to bring into your life.
Negativity breeds negativity and doesn't bring positive rewards.

You certainly brightened my day although I know that's not what you meant but I just had this picture flash into my mind of Tesco management dressed in orange robes with shaved heads and prayer wheels.
I will now have a permanent mental image of Tesco call centre being full of robed monks wearing headphones!

I think it's just about generosity of spirit. People forget to give of themselves in these days of high tech. We also forget to ask for what we want. I guess this is about asking and believing you will get it. Then giving back the good feelings to everyone around you. Not being introspective or dwelling on what can't be done. But focusing on the light. It sounds a bit corny but it's the only way to explain it
I'm not sure of how this fits in with the karma theory, other than as some have already said, we make our own karma. We aren't responsible for the karma of others. Inspiring others to change is more effective than punishing them for not being perfect.

As I understand it Hinduism came first, Buddhism evolved from it.
