Question 10: THE MORE I HEAR ABOUT THE EXAMPLES OF KARMA, THE MORE I FIND IT FASCINATING AND LIMITLESS. ANYONE INTERESTED CAN EXPLORE AND REFLECT FURTHER. MAY I ASK, WHAT KARMA CAUSES A PERSON TO BE DISABLED?

Question 10: THE MORE I HEAR ABOUT THE EXAMPLES OF KARMA, THE MORE I FIND IT FASCINATING AND LIMITLESS. ANYONE INTERESTED CAN EXPLORE AND REFLECT FURTHER. MAY I ASK, WHAT KARMA CAUSES A PERSON TO BE DISABLED?

Answer: A single outcome may stem from various causes, not necessarily just one. For instance, someone with a leg disability might have damaged public roads in a previous life, fought in wars and broken the legs of enemies, or hunted animals and broken their legs to prevent them from escaping. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of such a karmic result; only Enlightened Beings can truly know.

For example, blindness might result from having harmed someone’s eyes in the past, taken away public light sources, imprisoned someone in darkness for too long, or ignored the suffering of others to avoid helping them.

Similarly, someone who is mute may have once prohibited others from expressing their rightful desires, cut off someone’s tongue, or been too cowardly to speak out in defense of what is right.

Although he writes about Buddhism, he appears to desire unity with other religions to contribute to the cause of world peace. He attempts to demonstrate how differences can complement one another…
