What is the dedication and karma of Buddhism?

Dedication, Sanskrit parinama, also as turning, giving. That is, with the merits of the good roots that you have cultivated, you will return them to sentient beings and make yourself tend to bodhi nirvana; Or use the good roots that they have cultivated to mourn the deceased, hoping that the deceased will be safe. There are many theories about dedication in the scriptures, and according to the records of the scriptures, the types of dedication are summarized into six types:

Returning things to reason: dedicating the merits of the thousands of different things that have been cultivated to the immortal and imperishable true Dharma realm.

Return to cause and effect: Dedicate all the merits cultivated in the cause to the supreme Buddha fruit.

Dedication to others: Dedicate all the merits you have cultivated to all sentient beings in the Dharma realm.

Return to the small to the great: The Hinayana heart of self-determination and self-determination will be turned back to the self-interest of the Mahayana people.

Returning less to more: Although there are few good roots, with a joyful heart, dedicate yourself to all sentient beings.

Return to the inferior to win: will rejoice in the blessings of the two vehicles of ordinary people, and return to the supreme Bodhi.

Dedication is the best way to practice the Mahayana bodhisattva path of self-benefit and equality. This is because the object of dedication can reach all sentient beings in the Dharma realm, and dedicating to resentful creditors can resolve bad karma into good karma and turn resistance into help. Dedication is the embodiment of the spirit of great compassion and compassion without cause, and only those who understand the spirit of equality between others and others can dedicate themselves. Therefore, a thought returns to the heart, and is the head of all the bodhisattva's actions; Therefore, no matter what kind of practice you practice or what merit you make, you should dedicate yourself.

Karma is the element that makes up cause and effect. Karma is the collection of results caused by an individual's past, present, or future actions, and the results of karma will govern present and future experiences, so an individual's life experience and the experiences of others are influenced by one's own actions. Therefore, individuals have the possibility and responsibility to take responsibility for their own lives.

Karma is also the cause that governs samsara, so karma is not only the result of this life, but also extends to future lives.

It is a Buddhist term, and the explanation about this term is as follows:

In Buddhist terms, karmic reincarnation is the process of sentient beings passing on to life and death. The cycle of birth and death is governed by karma, which has two categories, good and evil, created by the three good roots such as no greed, and the three negative roots such as greed. Karma is not external, but a contrivance of the mind corresponding to the sixth consciousness.

Taking the mind as the driving force, that is, the behavior of both the body and the mouth, this is the three karma of body, speech, and mind. The residual potential (residual latent power) of these three actions, imbued with Tibetan knowledge, leaves behind a function similar to that of one's own karma, which is called habit, also known as seed, which can induce the retribution of future lives. Therefore, "Thirty Verses of Wisdom" says:

From the habits of all karma, the two take the habits, the previous unfamiliar is exhausted, and the resurrection is unfamiliar. "

First of all, we have to know what karma is, and karma is an intermediate stage where things begin but don't end. Karma works by climbing. Only with fate can there be the power of karma.

Reincarnation is a cycle of repetition. For example, seeds are karmic causes, photosynthesis and watering are karmic causes, and what grows over a period of time is karmic effects.

The karmic fruit produces seeds, climbs and then bears fruit. Looping infinity is reincarnation. Round a lap there is back to the seed.

People are the same, reincarnation in the six realms, this body is broken and then a new body, starting anew. But karma has good and evil, good causes have good effects, and evil and so on. Therefore, we must refrain from all evil, and do all good.

It's like playing billiards, where one ball hits another and hits another.

It's like dominoes, and that's how the reincarnation of sentient beings is, driven by karma.

It is only when people bear cause and effect that they will be reincarnated as human beings!

The Japanese invasion of China does not fully explain that it was an extremely evil act, compared with the continuous expansion of the culture of the Central Plains, there have been countless such foreign aggressions in history, and if there will be evil consequences, how can we not be very miserable.

The behavior of a country or race can only be regarded as a kind of collective karma, that is, the karmic behavior of a group, but there are also three types of karma: 1) good karma, 2) no record, and 3) bad karma. There is a correspondence between good karma and bad karma, which produces good and bad consequences.

The aggression and economic prosperity that you are talking about do not constitute a causal relationship, that is to say, the negative consequences caused by the negative karma of aggression are not economic prosperity, and the good causes of economic prosperity are not aggression. These two are not the same thing, and pulling hard can only cause confusion in thinking.

The evidence of karma cannot be fully expressed in words, but to quote the words of the ancients to explain: ask about the causes of past lives and look at the effects of today, and look at the results of the world, and look at the causes of today.

There is some evidence of reincarnation on the Internet, you can take a look at it, and I think it can be explained by the 12 karmas.

The so-called life is much better only on the material level, or just food and clothing. The country lacks resources, has a small territory, has no strategic depth, has a developed economy, has a small politics, and the people are humble and hostile to the outside world, and are enemies of their neighbors.

Because it has only been 30 years since China's reform and opening up, how many years has Japan's market economy been? The economic system determines the future of the economy. Don't you see that China is growing much faster than Japan? These economic laws are also karma. Karma is the image of cause and effect, and cause and effect is the law.

You can't see past lives and future lives.

Just look at the moment.

Karma and reincarnation, there is a term in Buddhism called "three lifetimes of cause and effect". The so-called "three lives" refers to the past life, the present life, and the future life, which means that all karma can only be understood by looking at the three lives.

Generally speaking, the retribution for evil in this life will be in the next life, or even in the next few lives. The immediate retribution in this world is called "retribution in this world", but there are not many such cases. Just like a seed planted in the field, it is rare to bloom and bear fruit quickly, and it needs sunlight, water, soil fertilizer, etc. to grow, and there must be a process of germination, growth, flowering, and fruiting.

The Japanese invaded China, do you know whether this is the cause or effect? Cause and effect are very complex and not as simple as you show what you see.

Karma is what you did in the past.

According to the law of cause and effect, your past actions will inevitably lead to a result in the present and the future, which is cause and effect.

Good actions lead to good consequences, and evil actions lead to bad consequences.

Reincarnation is also known as circulation, reincarnation, and reincarnation of life and death, which means that sentient beings die and live, are born and die, and live and die endlessly, turning like a wheel, and the cycle is endless. The cause of reincarnation is ignorance of things as they are, ignorance gives rise to "actions", and different "actions" produce different karma, and the existence of karma leads to samsara.
