SPECIAL ON BUDDHA PURNIMA: SHORT NOTE ON BUDDHIST LAW OF KARMA AND INSPIRED HAIKU

 SHORT NOTE

 The Buddhist Law of Karma - one of the most profound Truth axioms - is also known as the 'Law of Cause and Effect' for birth-and-rebirth cycles and strife. In other words, one becomes good only by honed and imbibed good thoughts and deeds to live a noble life.

 In the Buddhist tradition, 'Karma' is deemed as action driven by intention and desires that leads to future consequences. Those intentions or desires are considered to be the determining factor in strife and the kind of next birth as a part of cycle of death-and-rebirth.

 The mundane kicks of mind and senses or unconscious psychic impulses are the Karma traps. One has to rise above and beyond the confine of body-senses-mind confine to get liberated

 INSPIRED HAIKU

 There exists no God

We're our own only masters

We are cause-n-effect

Trust Law of Karma

For your and society’s sake

The Cause-n-Effect Law

~*~

Accept sufferings –

Effect of our past karma

Do good - as of now

Live life of calmness

Compassion, free from desires

Be minimal, simple

***

Self-reflect actions -

Our actions in the present

Mar or make future

***

Our own thoughts and deeds

End existential misery -

Take life in own hands
