The Warm Hearted Family : หน้า 45/207 Exploring the significance of good kamma and how it influences the unborn child and the mother, this text emphasizes the importance of performing good deeds in Buddhism.
The text discusses the relationship between an unborn child and their mother's well-being, highlighting how the child's past good deeds influence the mother's experiences, such as morning sickness. It explains the concept of Kamma, emphasizing that the consequences of our actions — good or bad — are carried into future lives. The teachings of Buddha encourage individuals to abstain from harmful actions, focusing on performing good deeds for a happier present and future. Meditation is highlighted as a tool for mental strength, facilitating the practice of good actions. Ultimately, understanding the effects of Kamma fosters a truthful and ethical way of living, reinforcing the idea that our current conditions are reflections of past actions. The importance of good deeds is reiterated as crucial for cultivating a brighter future.

child to be born to her. When someone from a fortunate realm
is ready to be reborn, he will choose the best and most generous
mother. Once he enters the womb, he brings good fortune to
his mother and himself.
The strength of this person's merit is an interesting thing.
If the mother suffers from morning sickness, she will not have
any relief no matter what she does until she offers alms. This
relieves her symptoms instantaneously. This implies that the
unborn child, in its previous existence always made Dana
(donation in the Pali language). The baby's presence influences
her to offer alms herself. For a person who loved to chant in a
previous existence, when his mother experiences the sickness,
he will trigger her to chant in order to gain relief. When the
mother chants and meditates, the unborn child will be happy
along with her.
The social and physical differences between people in
this world result from the past and present kamma. One part
of this equation we cannot alter because it is the consequence
of an action we have already performed. But we always have
a fresh opportunity to create a brighter future for ourselves.
The Lord Buddha taught us to refrain from accumulating more
bad kamma. The bad kamma that we accumulate today will
follow us and its consequences will arise in the future. So,
avoid amassing bad kamma, even minor ones. This can only
benefit you.
The heart the Buddhism is to avoid doing bad deeds,
perform only good deeds, and purify the mind until it is clear
and bright. These three actions are good deeds, and performing
good deeds results in good kamma that will make us happier.
When we perform good deeds, some of the good consequences
are immediately expressed in this lifetime while the rest will
build the foundations for everlasting happiness in future
lifetimes.
For us, since we are already born into this world, we
must endure the conditions we find ourselves in. Concentrate
on performing more good deeds and do not be influenced by
bad thoughts. The technique to keep our minds strong is nothing
more than meditation. The more you meditate the more strength
you will acquire to perform more good deeds.
When we view the world and understand the effects of
kamma, we will be determined to lead our lives truthfully and
on the right path. The consequences of kamma are real and
they will bear fruit. If we performed good deeds we will receive
good consequences. If we performed bad deeds, bad
consequences can be expected. The Lord Buddha's teachings
are truthful, and they have been examined over many thousands
of years. Be aware of the differences that exist among the
people of the world. These are the conditions that we were
born into and they prove that the consequences from kamma
are real. This is why we must focus on doing good deeds."
