The “Golden Rule” as it relates to Karma


Karma has relatively the same meaning as the “Golden Rule”: “Do unto others as they would do to you”. This concept exceeds biblical history and dates back to some of the earliest vestibules of human history. Examples of statements that mirror the Golden Rule appear as far back in humanity to Ancient Egypt; for example in the story of The Eloquent Peasant which is dated to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt (c. 2040–1650 BC). Clearly this is not a new concept. Because we live in a revolving Universe of matter and energy, in theory, where something begins in the world, will eventually be the place where it also ends. We see this relative similarity in the rotation of planets and galaxies; even our seasons begin where they end and so on. This concept supports the mechanics of karma in regard to energy: For every action there is a reaction in some form or function. No matter which race, creed or society. No matter what the belief may be, karma exists separately as a law of motion. Every action, thought or intention is measured by vibration and energy – rippling out like as stone cast in a calm pond. The ripples will reach the ponds edge and contrary to belief they will reverberate back to the source.

“Karma is not something complicated or philosophical. Karma means watching your body, watching your mouth, and watching your mind. Trying to keep these three doors as pure as possible is the practice of karma”.

- Lama Thubten Yeshe

Well put Mr. Yeshe….
