“As the Buddhists teach it, karma is not a law of predestination, as some Westerners fear. Rather, it allows for free will. The law of karma does not dictate how we act. It is an impartial law, asking only that we learn from our mistakes. When we create 'bad' karma by acting selfishly, hurting others or ourselves, disrupting the harmony of the Uni- verse (acts that some call 'sin'), the Universe doesn’t judge us. It simply loops the disharmony back at us, offering us another opportunity to respond correctly. We create good karma when we act with awareness and in harmony with the connectedness of all things – in other words, with love and compassion. The compelling message of karma is that we are responsible for our actions.”
