I think this thread has encapsulated what whitewolf intended all along with this site. It is more apparent that although we are of many different faiths, the fact we can discuss our perspectives here without fear of redress or feel comfortable asking others what they think or how they understand their own teachings shows that.

I agree paganwolf. Is marvellous this thread. Thanks a bundle Zenwind for your reply. My view of karma is more hindu than buddhist. I believe for example I used to be an animal, a peaceful one who is now a human being able to elevate to higher realms with the right conduct.

I feel that actions I do will result in a less favourable rebirth for me whereas I see from your perspective zenwind I would not be singled out like that. I would be changing and transforming as part of the universe..it is not personal though actions I do as part of the universe can affect the organisms transformation.

Maybe I have got you wrong. Anyway. thanks a million for sharing everyone.

I do find it heartening shall i even say a relief to read others views! It is freeing. Almost relieving of fear. I have found this whole thread has taught me a lot. Has taught me that I am operating a lot on what my immediate group of rather actvist vegan friends think (embarrassing for a woman who is kind of middle aged).

Thank you all for opening my mind and freeing me from my own narrow thinking.

Blessings and light
