Understanding Family Life and Kamma : หน้า 41/216

Part One: Family Life is situated in the universe. We do not even know where we will go after we die. Everywhere we turn there are so many questions and the answers are illusive. Why do some people die in their mother's womb while others survive? Why are some born strong while others are born with disabilities? Why are some people born into a wealthy family while others are born so poor that they cannot even get a nutritious meal? How is it possible that while two people who grew up in the same family with the same opportunities turn out to be so different? How do we find the answers to these vital questions? In Dhamma (Pure Nature), there are teachings that allow us to see the answers to these questions and enable us to understand the law that governs the world: The Law of Kamma. The word Kamma is a neutral word that does not imply good or bad since Kamma means "action with intention". An action always carries a consequence. Why do we feel full? It is because we have eaten. If we did not eat, we would be hungry. In physics, of course, there is the law that states that the energy of an action is equal to the energy of the opposite reaction. In terms of Dhamma, we can say that whatever our action, we will experience its consequence in return. The differences found in our personal life are dependent on the previously performed Kamma of each individual. Family Day By Day 39 Brith of a Child
