Let's first get clear on the word KARMA. It means Actions. It is best described in the west by Newtons 3 laws of action. Religions have changed the meaning to make money...now you suffer because of previous bad actions. You can give us money, which is a good action, and good things will come to you in the future. For the business of Buddhism, they need Good and Bad to get money from you. But it is almost impossible now to understand the laws of action, because all the authorities in Buddhism and religions are businesses wanting money, so they universally talk non-sense, and we common people are supposed to just believe and give money.

Here is an example of real karma and the illogical religious karma. Some of you may understand. A pool player moves his arm and his power moves the pool stick. The stick hits the white ball. The action is karma, Action and movement. The arm moves the stick moving the white ball. This is the first law: for each Action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I move arm, the stick moves, then the white ball hits an object ball and it goes into a pocket. This is real karma, the law of Action. The business of religion has convinced you of a theory that this karma action has good and bad which will come and get you! and you need them to save you...just pay some money

The reality is that object ball is never going to jump out of the pocket, hit the white ball, which hits your stick and jerks your arm back. But this is their karma teachings. And most people are already trained that there is retribution for your bad actions. And giving money has good consequences. But when you win the lotto, nobody says it was your good karma. They say you were lucky.

Right on to your interpretation of karma. Its scientific when you think about it. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Karma is the way the universe works. It is unfolding as it should. It is human selfishness in thinking that karma is directed only at us or at beings with reasoning who are conscious that they are alive. It has nothing to do with right and wrong or justice. That is more of the Christian "eye for an eye" idea. Karma has been long before humans or religion. The word Karma has been tainted and thought of now in a negative way instead of the beautiful thing that it is.

Know Emptiness. Be compassionate.

I would like to know how to say and write "know emptiness, be compassionate." I am having trouble because of the word "emptiness" referring to impermanence or non-attachment. Also the word "know" kind of translates differently as in understand. Its a Buddhist saying and i have found it to be true all of my life I think before I even heard it. Can anyone help me with this?

I was thinking of having the phrase "know emptiness, be compassionate" tattooed. Anyone know what that would be in Thai? Most places Ive seen that phrase in English it's says "emptiness" but that actually refers to impermanence. I don't know if that helps...

Anyone know how to write the Buddhist saying "know emptiness, be compassionate" in Thai? Thinking about getting it tattooed.
