“Unless you see your nature, you shouldn't go around criticizing the goodness of others. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Good and bad are distinct. Cause and effect are clear. But fools don't believe and fall straight into a hell of endless darkness without even knowing it. What keeps them from believing is the heaviness of their karma. They're like blind people who don't believe there's such a thing as light. Even if you explain it to them, they still don't believe, because they're blind. How can they possibly distinguish light?” PeopleIfsBelieveStillsLightFallCausesDarknessHellKnowingClearEffectsFoolGoodnessAdvantageBlindDon't BelieveKarmaEndlessCriticizeDeceivingGood And BadCause And EffectHeavinessBlind PeopleDeceiving Yourself Author:Bodhidharma
“Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn't exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isn't wrong.
