QotD: Very Superstitious

2008-08-14T22:19:01Z

Do you have any crazy superstitions? I'm not sure if you'd call it a superstition, but I'm a die hard believer in Karma, so I refuse to be mean to people for the most part for fear of retribution by the universe. And I never, ever wish at 11:11....

the importance of intention

2008-08-01T14:40:38Z

Intention is the most important of all mental events because it gives direction to the mind, determining whether we engage with virtuous, non-virtuous, or neutral objects. Just as iron is powerlessly drawn to a magnet, our minds are powerlessly dr...

the effects of karma are inevitable

2008-08-01T14:34:04Z

changing karma

2008-08-01T14:04:23Z
