In one’s lifetime, we will encounter many people. There are family members who are destined to be together, as well as classmates, teachers, and colleagues who accompany us as we grow. Why do we meet these people? The Buddha said that life is for repaying karmic debts.
As the saying goes, “If there is no debt from the past life, there is no encounter in this life.” Each individual is caught in the cycle of karma, whether good or bad. The people we encounter are either those we owe from the past or those who owe us. As long as we meet, there is a karmic debt, and the amount of that debt determines the fortune or misfortune in this life. This is what the Buddha refers to as “cause and effect.”
How do we repay the karmic debts from the past? How do we resolve the negative karma and entanglements from past lives? How do we make our lives more auspicious and smoother? There are many ways. Let’s listen to the detailed explanations by Grandmaster JinBodhi.
