Karma - good karma and bad karma and how to improve your karma (Monday, 5th May 2025)

Karmically, life picks on you when you harm any living being namely, humans and animals. Life creates mean characters to bully you that no one can see and who no one except you can hear. Whatever you do, don't kill or harm in any way a human or animal otherwise you will hear the negative cruel torturous voices of people you know created by life bullying you. You will feel invisible people trying to harm you too. You will have nightmares when you go to sleep. You will see humans and animals fizzle in and out of existence. You will feel sick. You will look ugly and people will be cold to you because of how awful you look. People will treat you unfairly and bully you in real life too. This is one of the realms of hell in Buddhism. To move karmically away from hell, do kind deeds. The more kind deeds you do, the more you are rewarded karmically by nice things happening to you. You will see a more beautiful world, your face and body will look more beautiful; you will feel more motivated to get up in the morning and to do kind deeds during the day, and you will have more to be grateful for e.g. having good possessions and having more people being nice to you.

Say, you find you are limited by the kind deeds that you can do. For example, you have been stopped from feeding the pigeons, or you are locked up against your will or you can't get a paid job or voluntary job and all you want to do are kind deeds. Then think of how to be kind to anyone you see in your room or anywhere you go. The kinder you are to these people, the greater the improvement in karma for you.

If you have killed someone, you are in hell on earth and after death you are reincarnated to live in hell maybe forever if you don't do enough kind deeds to get out of hell by being kind, loving, generous and wise instead of ignorant, hateful and greedy.

Since humans and animals are all people, you have to be kind by showing loving-kindness to all living beings.

Every time you are a Buddhist, you don't harm anyone or kill anyone. You are always kind when you are a Buddhist.

Always think of nice kind people such as saints and Buddhas and you will be kind. This helps a lot when you are feeling angry.

Anger leads to killing or killer thoughts so whenever you are angry with someone or some people, change your feelings to loving-kindness and think, 'I am a Buddhist' and you will instantly become nicer and lose your anger. Also read some blog posts in My Kind Deeds Blog for inspiration on how to be kind instead of angry.

Animals are like human beings. Be kind to them and they love it.
