You may not want to hear it. But we will always suffer or prosper from the consequences of our action; whatever they maybe: whether it be the forgotten ones, the buried ones, the dead ones, the unintentional ones even to the white minuscule meaningless or meaningful ones; it would most likely to boomerang itself back when you least expect it

Look!
This is your world!
You can't not look.
There is no other world.
This is your world; it is your feast.
You inherited this; you inherited these eyeballs; you inherited this world of color.
Look at the greatness of the whole thing. Look!
Don't hesitate - look!
Open your eyes.
Don't blink,
and look, look - look further.
~ Chögyam Trungpa

झूठा प्रचार किया किसी मुरख ने, कबीर करें भंडारा।
दो रोटी का साधन न था, भेख जुड़ा अति भारा।।
खुल्या भंडारा गैबका, बिन चिटठी बिन नाम।
गरीबदास मुक्ता तुलैं, धन्य केशौ बलि जांव।।
अपरमपार पार गति तेरी, कित उतरी जल धारा।।
510 years ago, Lord Kabir had organized "Divine Dharma Yagya" for three days. In which more than 18 lakh sadhus, saints and people performed Mohan Bhandara. The same history is being recreated under the guidance of Bandichod Satguru Rampal Ji Maharaj. 'Divya Dharma Yagya Diwas' is being organized in 10 Satlok Ashrams from 26 to 28 November 2023 in the presence of Jagatguru Tatvadarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj in which all of you are cordially invited.

Heracles and the Buddha
This is based on the fascinating fusion of cultures after Alexander the Great invaded India, otherwise known as Indo-Greek or Greco-Buddhism. In Gandharan sculpture, Heracles is depicted alongside the Buddha as Vajrapani, the Buddha's protector. The pairing of two figures so iconic in their mythologies seemed perfect material for art. The Buddha would help Heracles with anger management, while Heracles would help with clobbering evildoers. Business as usual.

“Ice in winter melts and flows in spring, and minerals and rocks are burnt and melted by fire. In this way, all things are established by causality and have no true nature.” - Kukai
Tumblr media
[Kukai (b. 27 July 774 – d. 22 April 835),  posthumously called Kōbō Daishi ("The Grand Master who Propagated the Dharma"), was a Japanese Buddhist monk, calligrapher, and poet who founded the esoteric Shingon school of Buddhism.]
Buddha to his disciples, mini-series (21)
Nidana - "direct cause" &  "indirect cause" in all phenomenal things
Kukai's quotation of the sacred word 'causality' is referred to as the 'Twelve Causes (Pratītyasamutpāda,Ref)', etc., and is one of the fundamental doctrines that the Buddha taught to his first disciples after his enlightenment, and the content of enlightenment itself. The Buddha realised that "the phenomena of this world are the result of the interrelation of causes and conditions. Everything is the result of nidana".
In Buddhism, all phenomenal things which those caused by phenomena, have a hetu (direct cause), and a pratyaya (indirect cause) conditions that help the cause to produce the result..

"冬の氷は春になれば解けて流れ、金属や岩石は火に焼かれて溶解する。このようにすべての物事は縁によって成立し、本姓はない。"
―空海(くうかい、774年7月27日生 - 835年4月22日没)は、日本の僧侶、書家、詩人で、真言密教の創始者であり、「弘法大師」とも呼ばれる。
ブッダから弟子たちへ、ミニシリーズ (21)
因縁 〜 現象的事物 (有為) はすべて直接原因 (因)と間接原因縁 (縁)
空海の聖語から引用した「縁」という言葉は「縁起の法」「十二因縁(参照)」などといい、釈迦が悟りを開いて最初に弟子たちに説いた根本教理の一つ、悟りの内容そのものである。釈迦は「この世の現象は原因や条件が相互に関係しあって生まれ出た結果である。すべては縁によって成り立っているのだ」と気づいた。
仏教では,現象的事物には必ず原因があるとし,生滅に直接関係するものを「因 (梵:ヘートゥ=直接原因)」と言い,因を助けて結果を生じさせる間接的な条件を「縁 (梵: プラティヤヤ=間接原因)」と言う…

Unpopular opinion but...
There's no such thing as good karma, karma is karma, ruled by Saturn, the planet and god of limits, lessons, restrictions and responsabilities. The opposite of karma is dharma, the rewards of Universe after facing Saturn's lessons. Btw, dharma would be represented by Jupiter.
For those who have worked with Saturn as a deity besides of astrology, they know that is a god that don't take things lightly, in fact, he is sometimes considered as a demon and, in astrology is seen as a malefic planet. He is a great but severe teacher, and my dears, he helps us release karmic debts from past lives, he doesn't bring any good karma because karma are still lessons to be learnt, and again, there's no such thing as 'good karma'.
It might be a personal feeling but the devil hides in the details and talking about 'good karma' it only brings more karma that is something that you actually need to release, not to attract. If you want to talk about the positive coming into your life, it would be more appropiate to talk about dharma

In this white form she appears specifically for the purpose of bestowing longevity.

Sun Wukong's Buddhist Paradise
Some of my followers may be familiar with my past article in which I described Xuanzang's historical itinerary and discussed what a more realistic Journey to the West might be like. Towards the end, after the pilgrims return to China with the scriptures and the disciples (Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing) receive their elevation in spiritual rank, I stated: “They would thereafter leave to enjoy their divine lives in the Western Paradise.” But I’ve never really liked the idea that Monkey would forever abandon his people. This is especially true since his rebellion led to heaven decimating the monkeys and burning their cave (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 2, p. 31).
I think a better ending for this historical version would be for the “Victorious Fighting Buddha” to return to the Mountain of Flower and Fruit, where he transforms it into his own Pure Land (Jingtu, 淨土). The monkeys killed in years passed would be reborn there, and everyone would receive periodic lessons on the dharma between bouts of play. It would be a paradise even grander than when the Great Sage was at the height of his power.
Here is some information about pure lands from the Encyclopedia of Buddhism (Gomez, 2004):

I love this circa 1700 Tibetan painting of Amitabha in his pure land of Sukhavati. Just imagine the Victorious Fighting Buddha sitting in Amitabha's place, and monkeys would take the place of the monks, protectors, and devas.
