"National Karma"

May 5, 1999

The tornadoes in Oklahoma that have devastated thousands of homes is clear

evidence of the buddhist doctrine of karma at work ("National karma" (or,

the karma of a nation, of the complicity of the people) was clearly

explained by the 14th Dalai Lama in the video I recently watched). The

United States (the leading NATO country) is now beginning to reap karmic

retribution for its involvement in Yugoslavia. In its association with

Milosevic and in its leading role as "the" NATO country engaged in the

destruction of Yugoslavia, the U.S. is the first to be struck with karmic

retribution, and this retribution is just beginning to come to fruition.

Other countries involved in the NATO operations will also be hit with

disasters of their own, but most likely on a lesser scale, as most of them

are following along with the desires of the U.S. There is no

"International Community." We are it; we (the U.S.) are the example, like

it or not.

Further disaster is in store for the U.S. as NATO continues to "intensify"

its campaign against Yugoslavia. Our own people will begin to suffer as

those in Yugoslavia are suffering.

Karma is a law that operates on the level of samsara only. All these

things are going on on the level of samsara, which is the level at which

the law of karma (and most human beings and nations) operates. Karma is

not destiny, but similar to the scientific doctrine "For every action,

there is an equal and opposite reaction." Strength of intention plays the

largest role in karma. As a nation, we are bent on bringing Yugoslavia to

its knees through the use of violent force. As a result, that violent

force will be returned to us in exactly the equal measure that is dealt out.
