Indeed, you need not be certain of exactly what's going to transpire on page 2. If you know the whole story in advance, your novel is probably dead before you begin it. Give it some room to breathe, to change direction, to surprise you. Writing a novel is not so much a project as a journey, a voyage, an adventure.”

“Most reincarnationists also believe that the universe is governed by the Law of Karma. This law maintains that the world is just, and justice is equated with retribution. Everything good that happens to a human being is a reward for some previous good deed, and everything bad is punishment for an evil deed. The following is the formulation of the Law of Karma by Rayner Johnson, a leading academic reincarnationist: "Whatsoever a man sows, whether in the field of action or thought, sometime and somewhere the fruits of it will be reaped by him." It is not of course denied that for many of their good acts human beings are not rewarded and for many of their evil deeds they are not punished in the present life, but in that case the appropriate rewards and punishments will come in a later life, just as the happiness and unhappiness in the present life are frequently rewards and punishments for deeds in earlier lives.”
“Most reject the more repugnant or indefensible dogmas while still holding onto some core belief. Many believers will proudly describe themselves as "reasonable" or "rational" based on how little of their religion they still embrace versus how much they now reject. I think it's funny when people realize that the less you believe the more reasonable you are, but they stop before they reach the logical conclusion.”

“Most religious cosmologies include the existence of hells somewhere in the universe, and Buddhism is no exception. "Hell" is a translation of the Indic word naraka (or niraya), "devoid of happiness." The hells are mentioned in a large number of Buddhist sūtras, either as a single entity, as in the Verses on the Law (Dhammapada, 4th-3d century B.C.E.), or as a system of individually named hells, as in the Abhidharma commentaries (very early Buddhist writings). They were certainly not systematized into an elaborate structure such as we see in the Abhidharmakośa for a very long time.”
