3 Forms Of Karma #buddhism #philosophy #karma

'Intending, one does karma by way of body, speech, & mind.'
Karma is not only about what we do, but also about what we say, and what we think too. These are the three channels through which intention manifests into the world.
Our thoughts, words, and actions are like musical notes sounding together as one chord. To bring this chord into the key of enlightenment, we must tune all three together. If any one of them remains out of tune, the harmony is lost.
The work of enlightenment happens either in our whole being or not at all. Outer shows of wisdom and compassion are useless if we’re full of repressed anger and desire. We can fool others, and even fool ourselves…
But we cannot fool the law of karma.

I'm on My way Simon thanks to your channel I've embraced Buddhist teachings I'm learning and changing everyday and this path has never felt more right and natural. Training the mind thank you my friend for the gift.

Is it really useless to be compassionate and do good even though you haven't reached the enlighted stage?
Because all of us who are not enlightened do feel desire and repress emotions, some more and some less but there are always some level of those components. I'd say that how you treat others actually matters the most even though you are not "fooling karma".


Also I feel what it's missed from here is that it's the thoughts that have intentions that truly matter in this context. Not any thoughts, you are neither responsible for your thoughts nor do you have power over which ones appear.
