Do not judge upon what is owned or possessed by the rags and bones.
Karma is just the spiritual path which is to be revealed upon your spiritual walk. -

Being somebody to even want to unscrupulously "at all costs" to attain even the least of 'immortality' is actually the demons path.Originally posted by Taiwanpolitics:i want to escape from the six realms of rebirth at all costs .

Be very careful of what you ask for when you meet the angel who will bring you to the other realms. -

Karma is a very sophisticated concept in Buddhism and is not as simple as the term Cause and Effect. But in general, it means the result of action. You can't change the effect, but you are able to dilute the effect, but doing repentance regularly and wholeheartedly.Originally posted by Taiwanpolitics:and issit possible to change 1's fate ?
You could reborn get out of the six realms of rebirth, but it will not be easy because only Buddha will be totally out of this cycle of rebirth. But by personal cultivation, like meditation, chanting, reading up sutras, you will reborned into the 3 good realms (Ashura, God and Human). Of course, this is theory in simplicity because it depends on your karma too. Upholding 5 precepts is only the basic, which will keep you out of trouble, but if you read up on this 5 precepts, you'll find that its alot more complicated that you thought because certain things you thought you could do, but it'll gain bad karma. Going vegetarian is good, but if you find it difficult, you could do it slowly, like having one vegetarian meal a day. Vegetarianism will not only improve your health, it will also cultivate the compassion within you.Originally posted by Taiwanpolitics:i want to escape from the six realms of rebirth at all costs .

You must learn and understand the dharma and then practise it in everyday life. It takes practise, it is not very hard and is in fact very liberating. One will find bliss through Buddhist practise.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:5 Precepts and 10 Virtuous deeds, as I mentioned earlier, is only a means of accumulating good karma and also to prevent accumulating any bad karma but it does not lead to enlightenment. It is very important, it is a good practise, but it will not lead you to liberation.
Buddhism is different from any other religion because it emphasizes that we must purify our minds. Our mind is the source of all good, all bad, all thoughts, all afflictions, all sufferings and so on. We must treat the problem at the root. We must eliminate the root of suffering before we can find the unconditional and eternal Bliss of Nirvana in our lives. Buddhism is a culture of bliss, as it is the way of living in perfect bliss in the midst of Life through the cultivation of dharma. The Buddhist practise of mindful awareness allows us to watch our every arising thought, and not become misled by these thoughts into further samsaric cycles. Since you have read many 'Buddhism, Dalai Lama and Zen' books, I think you should have a rough idea of what I am talking about. -
Through doing more good deeds and also sincere repentance.Originally posted by Taiwanpolitics:and issit possible to change 1's fate ?

p.s the Buddha did not teach fate, he taught Karma -

Hi there!
The word "karma" basically means "action" in sanskrit. Karma is basically actions we do over and over again which are governed by the "law of cause and effect." The law of cause and effect (karma) can be simply put into three categories. Firstly is karma of speech, secondly is karma of thought, thirdly is karma of body. Therefore, every good or bad action of speech, thought, or body simply has a corresponding result either good or bad depending.
An example would be someone hurts you, and you are infuriated. You then yell back and scold him/her for hurting you. Firstly, the reason he/she has hurt you was a result of past karma which has now ripened and come into fruitation. When you yell back at the person, you are now planting a negative seed that will ripen towards the future, thereby resulting in suffering. The things you do, are the cause, the results are the effects. Therefore, the future is the result of past karma aswell as being seed of future karma.
That is why one of the goals of buddhists is to attain the purity of mind that enables one to make wise choices and avoid errors and mistakes that will in the future cause us suffering. -
something that u wanted to do to somebody but u can't or don't dare to do it. so u call on something call god to do it to that somebody

Karma means action, or cause and effect caused by action...
And anyway nobody, even 'gods', can escape the law of karma. -
