Good evening!
When we sit and stop the three (physical, verbal, and mental) karmas, we can settle in truth, peace, and holiness.
But when we are living in our karma world, all the news from north, east, west, and south is filled with problems and sufferings.
We know humans are humans because of our human karmas, which sense the three worlds of desire, form, and formlessness, and start attachment, aversion, and delusion.
These three poisons are expanded to militarism, materialism, and me-ism by instruments and institutions of the pyramidal systems – not in spite of, but because of, civilization.
So, the only solution is to wake up to this truth, practicing the three cultivations of morality, concentration, and prognosis (physical/volitional, emotional, and intellectual).
Unless we become awakened (buddhas), we can never solve the root karma problems and fundamental sufferings, and they just develop from bad to worse.
The Buddha knew the result of karma. That’s why he spent his whole life to save the world from destruction. Unless we become buddhas, we are doomed to headlong into demise.
