The word karma means action and consists of a type of force that transcends the material world, this type of energy is infinite and invisible and is a direct consequence of the actions of every human being, karma is governed by twelve laws, each of which allows us to understand the spiritual meaning of existence.
In Buddhism, there is no controlling god; these laws come not from a god, but from nature, just as the law of gravity, for example, and people have the free will to follow them or not, so doing good or evil depends on everyone, and this decision has consequences. for what we are largely responsible for.
Here are the twelve laws of karma according to Buddhism
1. La great law: this law can be summed up in the phrase “we harvest what we sow”. It is also known as the law of cause and effect: what we give to the universe is what the universe gives us, but if it is a negative thing, it will multiply tenfold, that is, if we give love, we will receive love, but if we give anger, we will receive an anger multiplied by ten.
2. Law of Creation: we must partake of life. We are part of the universe, so we form a unit with it. What we find around us is evidence of our distant past. Create the options you want for your life.
Law of humility: what we refuse to accept will continue to happen to us, if we only see the negative aspects of others, we will be standing at a lower level of existence, if on the contrary we humbly accept what is happening to us, we will rise to a higher level.
The law of growth: wherever we go, there we will be, in the face of things, places and people, we must change to evolve in our spirituality, not in what surrounds us, when we change our interior, our life changes.
5. Law of Responsibility: when something negative happens to us is because there is something negative about us, the environment is our reflection. Therefore, we must face the situations of our lives with responsibility.
Law of connection: everything we do, however insignificant it may seem, is related to the universe, the first step leads to the last and all are equally important, because together they are necessary to achieve our goals: the present, the future and the past they are interconnected.
Law of approach: it is not possible to think of two things simultaneously, we go up step by step, one at a time. We cannot lose sight of our objectives, because insecurity and anger invade us right now.
8. Law of generosity and hospitality: if you think of something that may be true, the time will come when you will be able to prove it. You have to learn to give to put into practice everything you have learned.
9. Law here and now: being stuck in the past prevents us from appreciating the present, repetitive thoughts, bad habits and frustrated dreams prevent us from moving forward and renewing our minds.
10. Law of Change: History will be repeated until we assimilate the lessons we must learn, if a negative situation arises several times is because there is knowledge to be learned, we must chart and follow our path.
11. Law of patience and reward: rewards are the result of previous efforts, greater dedication, greater effort, therefore leads to greater gratifications, it is a work of patience and perseverance that bears fruit, we must learn to love our place in the world; our effort will be honored at the right time.
12. Law of Importance and Inspiration: The value of our triumphs and mistakes depends on the intention and energy we spend to reach the end, we contribute individually to a whole, so our actions cannot be mediocre: we must put our whole heart into everything we do.
