    No I don't. The idea of karma looks good on paper, but the reality is that people who go around doing mean and evil things to other people always seem to get away with it. Also these mean people sleep well at night. The only people that suffer are the victims of evil people. This world has demonstrated this over and over to me throughout my whole life, so no I don't believe in Karma.

    Also if karma were real, the saying "Nice guys finish last" would not be a reality.

    The laws of karma and reincarnation are man made and wretched.

    If you travel to a places in the world where people truly believe, you will find the true nature of it and how it holds people in it's grip.

    Thanks to lack of education and with the help of men like Deepak Chopra,

    Westerners have a very watered down idea of it.

    Take for example a person that has caused much destruction - Hitler, for example, as his name always comes up. Karma and reincarnation teaches that upon his death, the bad karma he accumulated goes on into another life but the recipient has no idea of the weight they are carrying. Hitler's soul could be reincarnated into another person, animal or insect. There are some people that wear mouth and nose coverings to avoid breathing someone in. (I'm not joking.)

    In countries where karma rules the day and homeless children roam the street, other citizens do nothing to help them. Not because they are cruel but because the child has accumulated bad karma and they believe the sooner the child dies he can begin again. I saw a news article a few years back about a heartbroken mother that had lost her 13 year son to an early death. Just after the funeral, an iguana walked into her home. The photo showed her with tears rolling down her face as she held it - because she was convinced it was her son reincarnated.

    I strongly suggest the book by Ravi Zacharais called "Jesus Among Other Gods". He was raised in India and has a clear understanding of these things - and he takes strong offense to the tripe dished out by Deepak Chopra

    i never did before but after i read books on scientific research from a phd. at university i can not not believe it. i give you example from book but this is not the research that's good which you can find on youtube: a man was a preist in his previous life and he used his power for power, controll, sex, and money instead of teaching love and compassion. In his next life he did teach the truth about the universe in an environment that did not approve and he was tortured and killed for his teachings. he had a chance to teach it when it was given to him but he didn't. anyways karma balances out as he is making millions on his books now.
