Buddha About Karma

By Victor M Fontane

In the Vajrayana Paramita Sutra, the story is told of the Buddha being dismembered by the King of Golis in his previous life as a Buddha without any resentment. This is a trait that only Bodhisattvas have. Because a Bodhisattva understands emptiness, he is not frightened, he is not afraid, he is not intimidated. That is why Prajnaparamita in Buddhism means the giving of wisdom, because it is only through such giving that one can reach the other shore satisfactorily. Practitioners also need to give to others in order to lead them to the other shore.

Because King Kali had killed the Buddha and the Buddha was practicing the Bodhisattva path, the Buddha was dismembered without fear or anger. It was only by the coincidence of marriage that King Kali's killing karma was eliminated by the Buddha in his later life. In the eyes of the Buddha, King Gopal had made a karmic connection, but in King Gopal's behavior, he had made a killing karma. This was King Kali's blessing as well as his merit. And he was also the one who accomplished the Buddha's attainment of Buddhahood. When the Buddha became a Buddha, he relieved the evil karma of King Gauri through teaching and compassion. The Buddha's compassion and wisdom gave King Goliath the opportunity to repent and practice, and ultimately eliminated his past karmic obstacles.

So don't define the superficial phase, because in all the karma and underneath the karma and karma have produced the impermanent fruits. The karmic relationship between King Kali and the Buddha is a blessed one.

The killing that King Kali did was all ignorance born out of the union of karma and karma. That is why the Buddha told us to be compassionate, to be as boundless as the universe.

This story is also to tell people that all the impermanent fruits have already happened, although they have become real, the real will always become non-real, and that it is up to us to choose whether or not to have grudges and attachments, to do good or bad karma, and to liberate ourselves from suffering.
