🪷Karma does not only affect your next life (or lives), but can impact your current life. Retribution can be imminent, happen in the near future, or in a few lifetimes, you never know.
🪷When people die they are judged by the kings of hell, who examine their karma and deeds. After that, they assign a new rebirth based on how much good/bad karma one has created.
🪷 In Pure Land Buddhism, one only needs to have faith in Amida and chant the nenbutsu (namu Amida butsu, homage to Amida Buddha) only 10 times to be reborn in his Pure Land.
🪷According to Buddhist texts, after the buddha was born he was bathed by the gods in the heavens with pure water. He also walked 7 steps and 7 lotus flowers emerged from the ground.
🪷 Bowing and prostrating to the Buddha is a common practice found in Buddhist texts and art. The act shows honor, respect, devotion, and profound faith. When visiting temples people often bow at the entrance and in front of Buddhist statues.
