In an ancient orient civilization, there is a mystery surrounding human lives. The theory is similar to the Western concept of Jesus Christ's original sin. It reveals that people's misery is caused by their sins - specifically, their bad deeds toward others in their previous lives.
Some individuals are born disabled because they harmed others in a past life. Similarly, some are born blind due to their harmful actions in a previous incarnation. Evil deeds often do not have immediate consequences; instead, they manifest much later, potentially affecting you in this lifetime or the next.
People who practice wisdom or asceticism believe that hurting others can bring misfortune to oneself, like causing family members to fall ill or suffer fatal accidents. Although our actions may not always produce immediate or obvious effects, they can still cause suffering or unfortunate events for loved ones—such as illnesses that could threaten their lives and shorten their lifespan.
Some individuals can perceive the divine through their practice, allowing them to see things beyond ordinary perception. As predicted, there are two types of beings in this world: those we see with our eyes and those we cannot. It is these unseen entities and forces that ultimately influence everything we gain or lose in life.
Practitioners think that an evil person's magnetic field can draw dark entities, causing misfortune and hardships. Some may temporarily acquire significant wealth, but the suffering from health issues and a shortened life span often prevent them from truly enjoying their gains.
Many believe in an afterlife where life comprises both body and soul—similar to how a computer needs hardware and software to work. In Buddhism, the efforts or practices of this lifetime, like doing good deeds, serve as the foundation for happiness and well-being in future lives.
Some people are born into lives full of joy and fulfillment, often because they accumulated positive karma—good deeds—in their past lives or ancestral history. Similar to a bank account where deposits sit until passed down, these merits from ancestors can be inherited by their descendants. This inheritance not only grants them a favorable fate but also enables them to practice Dharma in this lifetime and enjoy its benefits.
If you want happiness, begin with yourself by practicing virtue through your actions, and it will naturally radiate to others.
