Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Everything comes from primary cause and leads to a result. An action in your past life gives you a result in this life. If in this life you do not make this feeling disappear, then it will become cause in the next life there will again be the same result. The name for this is samsara. Many people do not understand this, so they are attached tothe result. Because of this when they are very sad and crying, they suffer. If you understand karma, you will not hold on to the result, so your mind will not be tight and suffering. Crying time is, only cry. When that is finished, it is finished. You must keep clear mind. Then you will make clear, correct karma. So don't hold on to your feelings, don't make anything, don't be attached to anything. Put it all down! Then your mind will become clear and your mind light will shine everywhere. That is called Dharma energy. Excerpt from a letter to Seung Sahn in Only Don't Know.
