Hi guys, i would just like to share or should i say ask whether this explaination of mine is right.

I believe all of you over here certainly do believe in karma.

So one has bad karma therefore resulting in the ripening of the karma and conditions arise thus one will fall sick.

Then when we fall terribly sick and to the extend of ending our own life or committing suicide as mentioned in the previous post earlier on, is it also considered as karma ripening and one has to go through another round of suffering because of ending our own life?

Karma ripens thus leading it to sickness. When the situations gets out of hand, ending the own life may seems the best solution but also has the strongest karma. So i guess probably it is from the start that you will have to face all these, going through another round of suffering.

I am not whether this explaination of mine is right and would like to discuss with people over here.

Thanks

regards.

Hi fengyun,

Actually this is not a easy question for me also but I think maybe we can see it this way, that is , 'from the start' all of us is going through various kinds of sufferings. We will all fall sick, terminally ill one day( esp when we r super old that is), and faced death eventually through various reasons. So in this sense, we can't say that certain ppl faced certain planned karma to go through acts of commiting suicides. We will all fall sick one day, but to end our own lives is a action we decided to take now( creating a new link of karma?).

There are actions done that cannot be undone already, but we can still change the effects of the results of those past actions. Some are not easy of cos, but it can be done if we want, not matter how long it may take.　因果是通三世的。

All of us have karma, good and bad; its a matter of which comes first. When good karma ripens, be grateful and treasured it, prolong it for the good of yourselves as well as others. When bad karma hits , faced it with courage and take it in your stride. Its not just talk, it really can be done.

So that is why it is of utmost importance that we practice the dharma as soon as possible before it is too late to do so.

Since Bardo Thogal is a very long text, I think it is better for you to read from a book and not strain your eye.

From my experience, and from research on reading behaviors, you can focus better and read faster reading from printed text instead of from screen.

Can say so, so we do not support suicide and euthanasia and non-acceptance of whatever situations we face.

Dear Moderators Sinweiy and Eternal Now,

Thank you very much for the replies, help and advice.

I have downloaded the English Translation of the Tibetain Book of Death as advised by Sinweiy and started to read them now.

Eternal Now, may I know where to buy a printed copy of the Dalai Lama translation of the Tibetian Book of Death ?

Dear Moderators, may I know whether there is any temple that is specialised in the teachings of the Tibetain Book of Death ?

If I'm not wrong the Tibetan Book of the Dead should be very popular and in many bookstores, but the sure-have are places like Evergreen (where Buddhist books are available cheaply) and Kinokuniya @ Taka.

Hello ,

I am not sure if there is any temple that specialises in the teachings of Tibetan Book of Death.

Sometimes though, some teachers do give teachings on Bardo, which is what this book is essentially about. Most teachers in the Tibetan tradition would also be able to answer your queries regarding this book.

Well, if there are any upcoming teachings on Bardo I could post it on this forum, so perhaps you can keep a lookout for it too.

Good luck ;)
