Karma AS.jpg

Sanalla karma (sanskritia, devanagari: कर्म; 'teko', 'toiminta'; paaliksi kamma) tarkoitetaan yleensä buddhalaisuudessa, hindulaisuudessa ja jainalaisuudessa esiintyviä syyn ja seurauksen toimintaa kuvaavia oppeja. On kuitenkin tärkeää huomata, että karma merkitsee eri asiaa eri uskonnoissa.

Näiden oppien mukaan jokaisen elävän olennon nykyinen olotila on suoraa seurausta menneisyydessä tehdyistä teoista. Karma on näiden tekojen alati muuttuva summa. Monesti karman katsotaan säilyvän myös kuolemassa, vaikkei varsinaiseen jälleensyntymään uskottaisikaan. Samaan tapaan nykyiset teot vaikuttavat tulevaisuuteen, myös tuleviin jälleensyntymiin. Pahat teot voivat johtaa jälleensyntymään huonommissa oloissa, jopa eläimenä. Teoiksi lasketaan myös ajatukset ja sanat, ja mielentila, jossa teot tehdään, voi vaikuttaa kertyvän karman määrään ja laatuun.

Karma ei merkitse kohtaloa, sillä jokainen voi vaikuttaa omaan käytökseensä. Lisäksi on erilaisia karmaa puhdistavia seremonioita, joilla lievennetään pahan karman seurauksia ja voimistetaan hyvän karman vaikutusta. Buddhalaisuuden mukaan kaikki olennot ovat karman ulottuvissa, ja siksi millään jumalaolennoilla ei ole tässä suhteessa merkitystä. Hindujen mukaan jumalat eivät ole karman piirissä, vaan voivat vaikuttaa ihmisen karmaan.

[muokkaa] Hindulaisuus

Hindulaisuuden mukaan, jos ihminen elää hyvin, hänen sielunsa pääsee kuolemansa jälkeen uudessa jälleensyntymässä parempaan elämään: ylempään kastiin tai jopa pyhäksi lehmäksi. Vastavuoroisesti jos ihminen elää huonosti, hän joutuu alempaan kastiin, kastittomaksi tai saastaiseksi eläimeksi. Jos ihminen elää sikamaisesti, hän joutuu seuraavassa elämässään siaksi. Jos ihminen keskittyy elämässään vain seksiin, hän joutuu seuraavassa elämässään linnuksi (jotka voivat paritella paljon ihmisiä useammin). Jos ihminen tappaa lehmän, hän joutuu helvettiin niin moneksi vuodeksi kuin lehmässä on karvoja.

Karman laki selittää monet länsimaista ihmistä Intiassa oudoksuttavat piirteet. Esimerkiksi vain harvat pyrkivät auttamaan kaduilla eläviä huono-osaisia, koska ajatellaan heidän kurjan kohtalonsa olevan heidän omaa syytään. Samoin länsimaiset ihmiset usein ihmettelevät sitä, että Intiassa eräät hindulahkot pitävät yllä sairaaloita lehmille ja linnuille, mutta huono-osaiset ja kastittomat ihmiset jäävät ilman apua.

Buddhalaisuudessa karma tarkoittaa syytä ja seurausta. Karma ei tarkoita kohtaloa eikä sattumaa. Mitkään korkeammat voimat, kuten jumalat, eivät määritä kenenkään kohtaloa. Kaikki mitä ei ole vielä tapahtunut voidaan muuttaa.

Karmalla tarkoitetaan mieleen kylvettäviä vaikutelmia. Vaikutelmat ovat vahvimpia mikäli neljä asiaa kohtaavat:

    * On oltava tietoinen tilanteesta, on ymmärrettävä mitä on meneillään
    * On toivottava muutosta tilanteeseen, on oltava motivaatiota
    * On tehtävä muutos tai pantava muutos toimeen
    * On oltava tyytyväinen jälkikäteen

Oleellista karman kannalta on mielentila jossa toimitaan. Tekoja seuraavissa tilanteissa koetaan sama tunnelataus kuin vaikutelmia luodessa. Mikäli motivaationa on auttaa ja olla hyödyllinen, niin on käytännössä vaikea tehdä pahoja virheitä.

Haitallisista vaikutelmista voi päästä eroon neljän askeleen avulla:

    * On ymmärrettävä että jotain on vialla
    * On muutettava käyttäytymistä, tai käytettävä meditaatioita jotka puhdistavat alitajuntaa
    * On päätettävä olla toistamatta samaa virhettä uudestaan
    * On pyrittävä tekemään päinvastaisia asioita

Karma pitää otteessaan kunnes saavuttaa vapautumisen eikä asioita ota enää henkilökohtaisesti. Tällöin myös jälleensyntymän voi valita vapaasti [1]
[muokkaa] Teosofia

Teosofian mukaan karma on elämässä tehtyjen tekojen ja valintojen seurausten summa. Tämä karma, "karmisen velan saldo", määrittelee sen, millainen seuraava inkarnaatio tulee olemaan. Säännön "jokainen niittää sitä mitä hän kylvää" mukaisesti jokainen joutuu lopulta kohtaamaan tekojensa seuraukset ja joko kärsimään ne tai sovittamaan ne. Teosofian opetusten mukaan ihminen voi jälleensyntyä uudelleen vain ihmiseksi. Teosofiassa ajatellaan, että vääryydet tulisi antaa anteeksi pahantekijälle. Karma tulee rankaisemaan sitä, joka on loukannut toista, eikä ihmisen pidä omalla toiminnallaan kostaa puolestaan.[2]
[muokkaa] Uuspakanuus

Erityisesti wicca ja siihen pohjautuvat uuspakanuuden suuntaukset tunnustavat "palautumisen lakia" – kaikilla teoilla on seurauksensa ja nämä palautuvat tekijälleen jopa kolminkertaisena. Tämä moraalinen ohjenuora selitetään yleensä luonnon vastavuoroisuuden ja fysiikan laeista johdetuksi ja varoittaa mustan magian harjoittamista vastaan. Sielunvaelluksen käsite on varsin yleinen uuspakanoiden keskuudessa, mutta, koska karma koetaan välittömästi tässä elämässä toimivana voimana, hyvien tekojen merkitys painottuu nykyhetkeen tuonpuoleisen sijasta.

Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म IPA: [ˈkərmə]  ( listen);[1] Pali: kamma) in Indian religions is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called saṃsāra) originating in ancient India and treated in Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh philosophies.[2]

'Karma' is an Indian religious concept in contradistinction to 'faith' espoused by Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), which view all human dramas as the will of God as opposed to present—and past—life actions. In theistic schools of Hinduism, humans have free will to choose their own actions, which require only the will of God to implement karma's consequences. Buddhism and Jainism do not accord any role to a supreme God or Gods, but the principal belief is the same. In Indian beliefs, the karmic effects of all deeds are viewed as actively shaping past, present, and future experiences. The results or 'fruits' of actions are called karma-phala.[3]

Origins

A concept of karma (along with samsara and moksha) may originate in the shramana tradition of which Buddhism and Jainism are continuations. This tradition influenced the Brahmanic religion in the early Vedantic (Upanishadic) movement of the 1st millennium BC. This worldview was adopted from this religious culture by Brahmin orthodoxy, and Brahmins wrote the earliest recorded scriptures containing these ideas in the early Upanishads. Until recently, the scholarly consensus was that reincarnation is absent from the earliest strata of Brahminical literature. However, a new translation of two stanzas of the Rig Veda indicate that the Brahmins may have had the idea, common among small-scale societies around the world, that an individual cycles back and forth between the earth and a heavenly realm of ancestors. In this worldview, moral behavior has no influence on rebirth. The idea that the moral quality of one's actions influences one's rebirth is absent from India until the period of the shramana religions, and the Brahmins appear to have adopted this idea from other religious groups.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Views

Some traditions (i.e., the Vedanta), believe that a supreme being plays some kind of role, for example, as the dispenser of the 'fruits' of karma[14] or as exercising the option to change one's karma in rare instances. In general, followers of the Buddhism and many followers of Hinduism traditions consider the natural laws of causation sufficient to explain the effects of karma.[15][16][17] Another view holds that a Sadguru, acting on a god's behalf, can mitigate or work out some of the karma of the disciple.[18][19][20] And according to the Jainism perspective, neither a god nor a guru have any role in a person's karma—the individual is considered to be the sole doer and enjoyer of his karmas and their 'fruits'. Laws of karma are codified in some books.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27]
In the Indian religions
Hinduism
Main article: Karma in Hinduism

Karma in Hinduism is also considered to be a spiritually originated law. Many Hindus see God's direct involvement in this process; others consider the natural laws of causation sufficient to explain the effects of karma.[28][29][30] However, followers of Vedanta, the leading extant school of Hinduism today, consider Ishvara, a personal supreme God, as playing a role in the delivery of karma. Theistic schools of Hinduism such as Vedanta thus disagree with the Buddhist and Jain views and other Hindu views that karma is merely a law of cause and effect but rather is also dependent on the will of a personal supreme God. Examples of a personal supreme God include Shiva in Shaivism or Vishnu in Vaishnavism. A good summary of this theistic view of karma is expressed by the following: "God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does He make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives you exactly what you deserve."[31]

Karma is not punishment or retribution but simply an extended expression or consequence of natural acts. Karma means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction, that governs all life. The effects experienced are also able to be mitigated by actions and are not necessarily fated. That is to say, a particular action now is not binding to some particular, pre-determined future experience or reaction; it is not a simple, one-to-one correspondence of reward or punishment.

Karma is not fate, for humans act with free will creating their own destiny. According to the Vedas, if one sows goodness, one will reap goodness; if one sows evil, one will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concomitant reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determines our future. The conquest of karma lies in intelligent action and dispassionate response.

One of the first and most dramatic illustrations of Karma can be found in the Bhagavad Gita. In this poem, Arjuna the protagonist is preparing for battle when he realizes that the enemy consists of members of his own family and decides not to fight. His charioteer, Krishna (an avatar of god), explains to Arjuna the concept of dharma (duty) among other things and makes him see that it is his duty to fight. The whole of the Bhagavad Gita within the Mahabharata, is a dialogue between these two on aspects of life including morality and a host of other philosophical themes. The original Hindu concept of karma was later enhanced by several other movements within the religion, most notably Vedanta, and Tantra.

In this way, so long as the stock of sanchita karma lasts, a part of it continues to be taken out as prarabdha karma for being experienced in one lifetime, leading to the cycle of birth and death. A Jiva cannot attain moksha until the accumulated sanchita karmas are completely exhausted.[32]
Sikhism

Within Sikhism, all living beings are described as being under the influence of Maya's three qualities. Always present together in varying mix and degrees, these three qualities of Maya bind the Soul to the body and to the earth plane. Above these three qualities is the eternal time. Due to the influence of three modes of Maya's nature, jivas (individual beings) perform activities under the control and purview of the eternal time. These activities are called Karma. The underlying principle is that karma is the law that brings back the results of actions to the person performing them.

This life is likened to a field (Khet) in which our Karma is the seed. We harvest exactly what we sow. No less, no more. This infallible law of Karma holds everyone responsible for what the person is or is going to be. Based on the total sum of past Karma, some feel close to the Pure Being in this life, and others feel separated. This is the Gurbani's (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, SGGS) law of Karma. Like other Indian as well as oriental schools of thought, the Gurbani also accepts the doctrines of Karma and reincarnation as the facts of nature.[33]
Buddhism
Main article: Karma in Buddhism

In Buddhism, karma (Pāli kamma) is strictly distinguished from vipāka, meaning "fruit" or "result". Karma is categorized within the group or groups of cause (Pāli hetu) in the chain of cause and effect, where it comprises the elements of "volitional activities" (Pali sankhara) and "action" (Pali bhava). Any action is understood as creating "seeds" in the mind that will sprout into the appropriate result (Pāli vipaka) when met with the right conditions. Most types of karmas, with good or bad results, will keep one within the wheel of samsāra, while others will liberate one to nirvāna.

Buddhism links karma directly to the motives behind an action. Motivation usually makes the difference between "good" and "bad" actions; but included in the motivation is also the aspect of ignorance such that a well-intended action from an ignorant mind can subsequently be interpreted as a "bad" action in the sense that it creates unpleasant results for the "actor".
Other causal categories

In Buddhism, karma is not the only cause of everything that happens. The commentarial tradition classifed causal mechanisms governing the universe as taught in the early texts in five categories, known as Niyama Dhammas:[34][35]

    * Kamma Niyama—Consequences of one's actions
    * Utu Niyama—Seasonal changes and climate
    * Biija Niyama—Laws of heredity
    * Citta Niyama—Will of mind
    * Dhamma Niyama—Nature's tendency to produce a perfect type

Jainism
Main article: Karma in Jainism
See also: Types of Karma (Jainism) and Causes of Karma (Jainism)

Karma in Jainism conveys a totally different meaning as commonly understood in the Hindu philosophy and western civilization.[36] In Jainism, karma is referred to as karmic dirt, as it consists of very subtle and microscopic particles i.e. pudgala that pervade the entire universe.[37] Karmas are attracted to the karmic field of a soul on account of vibrations created by activities of mind, speech, and body as well as on account of various mental dispositions. Hence the karmas are the subtle matter surrounding the consciousness of a soul. When these two components, i.e., consciousness and karma, interact, we experience the life we know at present.

Herman Kuhn quoting from Tattvarthasutra describes karmas as – a mechanism that makes us thoroughly experience the themes of our life until we gained optimal knowledge from them and until our emotional attachment to these themes falls off.[36]

According to Padmanabh Jaini "this emphasis on reaping the fruits only of one's own karma was not restricted to the Jainas; both Hindus and Buddhist writers have produced doctrinal materials stressing the same point. Each of the latter traditions, however, developed practices in basic contradiction to such belief. In addition to shrardha (the ritual Hindu offerings by the son of deceased), we find among Hindus widespread adherence to the notion of divine intervention in ones fate, while Buddhists eventually came to propound such theories like boon-granting bodhisattvas, transfer of merit and like. Only Jainas have been absolutely unwilling to allow such ideas to penetrate their community, despite the fact that there must have been tremendous amount of social pressure on them to do so."[38]

The key points where the theory of Karma in Jainism differs from the other religions such as theistic traditions of Hinduism, can be stated as follows:

   1. Karma in Jainism operates as a self-sustaining mechanism as natural universal law, without any need of an external entity to manage them. (absence of the exogenous "Divine Entity" in Jainism)
   2. Jainism advocates that a soul's karma changes even with the thoughts, and not just the actions. Thus, to even think evil of someone would endure a "karm-bandh" or an increment in bad karma. For this reason, Jainism gives a very strong emphasis to "samyak dhyan" (rationality in thoughts) and "samyak darshan" (rationality in perception) and not just "samyak charitra" (rationality in conduct).
   3. Under Jain theology, a soul is released of worldly affairs as soon as it is able to emanicipate from the "karm-bandh". A famous illustration is that of Mata Marudevi, the mother of Shri Rishabh Dev, the first Tirthankar of present time cycle, who reached such emanicipation by elevating sequentially her thought processes, while she was visiting her Tirthankar son. This illustration explains how "Nirvana" and "Moksha", in Jainism, are different from other religions. In the presence of a Tirthankar, another soul achieved Keval Gyan and subsequently Nirvana, without any need of intervention by the Tirthankar.
   4. The karmic theory in Jainism operates endogenously. Tirthankars are not attributed "godhood" under Jainism. Thus, even the tirthankars themselves have to go through the stages of emanicipation, for attaining that state. While Buddhism does give a similar and to some extent a matching account for Shri Gautama Buddha, Hinduism maintains a totally different theory where "divine grace" is needed for emanicipation.
   5. Jainism treats all souls equally, inasmuch as it advocates that all souls have the same potential of attaining "nirvana". Only those who make effort, really attain it, but nonetheless, each soul is capable on its own to do so by gradually reducing its karma.[39]

Western interpretation

An academic and religious definition was mentioned above. The concept of karma is part of the world view of many millions of people throughout the world. Many in western cultures or with a Christian upbringing have incorporated a notion of karma. The Christian concept of reaping what you sow from Galatians 6:7 can be considered equivalent to Karma.[40]

According to karma, performing positive actions results in a good condition in one's experience, whereas a negative action results in a bad effect. The effects may be seen immediately or delayed. Delay can be until later in the present life or in the next. Thus, meritorious acts may mean rebirth into a higher station, such as a superior human or a godlike being, while evil acts result in rebirth as a human living in less desirable circumstances, or as a lower animal. Some observers[who?] have compared the action of karma to Western notions of sin and judgment by God or Gods, while others understand karma as an inherent principle of the universe without the intervention of any supernatural Being. In Hinduism, God does play a role and is seen as a dispenser of karma; see Karma in Hinduism for more details. The non-interventionist view is that of Buddhism and Jainism.

Most teachings say that for common mortals, being involved with karma is an unavoidable part of daily living. However, in light of the Hindu philosophical school of Vedanta, as well as Gautama Buddha's teachings, one is advised to either avoid, control or become mindful of the effects of desires and aversions as a way to moderate or change one's karma (or, more accurately, one's karmic results or destiny).
Islam

Although Islam views all human dramas as the will of Allah (God), the Koran states that the good or bad fortunes that befall man are the results of God's reactions to man's own actions as shown from part 28 (Surat Al-Qasas), part 3 (Surat Al-Imran), and part 30 (Surat Al-Ruum).[41][42][43]
Spiritism
Main article: Spiritist doctrine

In Spiritism, karma is known as "the law of cause and effect", and plays a central role in determining how one's life should be lived. Spirits are encouraged to choose how (and when) to suffer retribution for the wrong they did in previous lives. Disabilities, physical or mental impairment or even an unlucky life are due to the choices a spirit makes before reincarnating (that is, before being born to a new life).

What sets Spiritism apart from the more traditional religious views is that it understands karma as a condition inherent to the spirit, whether incarnated or not: the consequences of the crimes committed by the spirit last beyond the physical life and cause him (moral) pain in the afterlife. The choice of a life of hardships is, therefore, a way to rid oneself of the pain caused by moral guilt and to perfect qualities that are necessary for the spirit to progress to a higher form.

Because Spiritism always accepted the plurality of inhabited worlds, its concept of karma became considerably complex. There are worlds that are "primitive" (in the sense that they are home to spirits newly born and still very low on intellect and morals) and a succession of more and more advanced worlds to where spirits move as they are elevated. A spirit may choose to be born on a world inferior to his own as a penance or as a mission.
New Age and Theosophy

The idea of karma was popularized in the Western world through the work of the Theosophical Society. In this conception, karma is affiliated with the Neopagan law of return or Threefold Law, the idea that the beneficial or harmful effects one has on the world will return to oneself. Colloquially this may be summed up as 'what goes around comes around.'

In the west, karma is often confused with concepts such as the soul, psychic energy, synchronicity (a concept originally from psychoanalyst Carl Jung, which says that things that happen at the same time are related), and ideas from quantum or theoretical physics (which most physicists would not grant as having any bearing on morality or codes of conduct, much less on supernatural notions). This mishmash of word associations is well illustrated by the once-common bumper sticker "My karma ran over your dogma."
Karma and emotions

Since the 20th century emergence of emotional intelligence as a novel paradigm for viewing human experience, karma has become a sectarian term which umbrellas the entire collection (both conscious and subconscious) of human emotionality.[44] This modern view of karma, devoid of any spiritual exigencies, obviates the need for an acceptance of reincarnation in Judeochristian societies and attempts to portray karma as a universal psychological phenomenon which behaves predictably, like other physical forces such as gravity.

Sakyong Mipham eloquently summed this up when he said;

    Like gravity, karma is so basic we often don't even notice it.[45]

This view of karma, as a universal and personally impacting emotional constant, correlates with Buddhist and Jungian understanding that volition (or libido, created from personal and cultural biases) is the primary instigator of karma. Any conscious thought, word and/or action, arising from a cognitively unresolved emotion (cognitive dissonance), results in karma.[46]

Jung once opined on unresolved emotions and the synchronicity of karma;

    'When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.'[47]

Popular methods for negating cognitive dissonance include meditation, metacognition, counselling, psychoanalysis, etc., whose aim is to enhance emotional self-awareness and thus avoid negative karma. This results in better emotional hygiene and reduced karmic impacts.[48] Permanent neuronal changes within the amygdala and left prefrontal cortex of the human brain attributed to long-term meditation and metacognition techniques have been proven scientifically.[49] This process of emotional maturation aspires to a goal of Individuation or self-actualisation. Such peak experience are hypothetically devoid of any karma (nirvana).

As Rabindranath Tagore most eloquently explained about the heat of human emotions;

    Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come[50]

The Aryans of the Vedic age knew nothing of it. When the Brahmins began to accept it, they declared it as a secret doctrine. [...] It will be seen from this short account of Jains, that they had fully developed the ideas of karma and reincarnation very early in history. The earliest Upanishads were probably strongly influenced by their teachings. Jainism the religion, Samkhya the philosophy and yoga the way to self discipline and enlightenment dominated the spiritual life of Indian during the Dravidian times. They were to be overshadowed for over thousand years by the lower form of religion that was foisted on the local inhabitants by the invading Aryans, but in the end it was Sramanic disciplines that triumphed. They did so by surviving in their own right and by their ideas being fully adopted by the Brahmins who steadily modified their own vedic religion." Page 35.

That (only way) is the four satipatthanas. What are these four? Here (in this teaching), bhikkhus, a bhikkhu (i.e. a disciple) dwells perceiving again and again the body (kaya) as just the body (not mine, not I, not self, but just a phenomenon) with diligence, clear understanding, and mindfulness, thus keeping away covetousness and mental pain in the world; he dwells perceiving again and again feelings (vedana) as just feelings (not mine, not I, not self but just as phenomena) with diligence, clear understanding, and mindfulness, thus keeping away covetousness and mental pain in the world; he dwells perceiving again and again the mind (citta) as just the mind (not mine, not I, not self but just a phenomenon) with diligence, clear understanding, and mindfulness, thus keeping away covetousness and mental pain in the world; he dwells perceiving again and again dhammas as just dhammas (not mine, not I, not self but just as phenomena) with diligence, clear understanding, and mindfulness, thus keeping away covetousness and mental pain in the world.

Note to self: Älä avaa Tuomarin triidejä. Mielessä pyörii nyt vain ihmistuhatjalkaiset, paskan syöminen ja höpsähtäneet lääkärisedät.
