Nurtured at KiBO

Karma is a concept in Buddhist teaching which means " For every event that occours, there will follow another whose existence was caused by the first and this second event will either be pleasant or unpleasasant." This may sound complicated but my version is " What goes around comes around!" Am quite sure someone might have told you that or you might have uttered that as well. Physics also has its version of Karma! " For every action, there is a reaction"

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in situations where " Life is really awful" I would say thats Karma! Realising this effect is essential since you develop a culture of more care in decision making. You may be in a really bad situation, 90% is not out of bad luck but Karma. However knowledge of the karma effect is not helpful at all if you do not learn one thing....That is to fix things.If you are in a really bad situation, fix it!

Last year alone, I did really really bad things and this year without further ado I had to fix them. For instance, I used to offer voluntary blogging lectures at KiBO Foundation. However there a came a period when I was really busy and all I could do was to offer empty promises. I would say ' I will be there at 10.00AM sharp' come 10am I would never surface. Good enough I came accross this Karma teaching and decided to fix what I had messed up. This was however tough as students that I was supposed to lecture had graduated. How could I fix this??? The first thing was to humble myself and then luckily and idea struck me, ' If I could offer free lectures to all KiBO alumnis these students would catch up! That was it. My proposed lectures are scheduled to commence next month.

Sometimes the mishaps that we encounter are actually not out of bad luck. It's Karma. When bad things happen, learn to fix them. Last year I did some nice things as well and am enjoying but for the bad things I did am fixing them slowly as I already have them on a list.

My Karma understanding is 'Make the right choices and fix the bad things' What about you, have you experienced this concept??? Do you think Karma works???
