This is my bible. I read this book many years ago. I think the world would be a much nicer place if everyone guided their life by the laws of Karma. The books is a quick read, funny at times and definitely very informative.

I really felt I needed to read this, I needed a reminder of karma, how it can or cannot manifest, I still struggle with knowing what and how to navigate this force in my own personal life. It's still taking me some time and processing but overall, more enlightened than before which is always a good thing :)

Karma is not a moral law; it is neutral. Only a description of how things interact.

YOU generate your own karma, you are your own karma, you are the sum result of your previous actions and thoughts. You are in control of your own karma.

Understanding karma is about understanding the effects your actions have on yourself, others, and ultimately on everything.

We all have an impact. You are always doing things thatshape the course of your day and life.

Volition: the power to choose or determine. Karma refers to the motivation and intent behind an action.

Karma can always be changed. We are constantly in the act of creating karma and always have within us the power to change what we do now in order to affect the future.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
** Bertrand Russell

Good karma comes naturally when we accept our interdependence with others and the universe, remain nonjudgmental, accept impermanence as the natural state, and open our hearts.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love or a new country. - Anais Nin

Kõigel, mida me oma keha, kõne või meelega teeme, on tagajärjed. Iga tegu, ka kõige tühisem, kannab endas juba oma tagajärgede alget. Sogyal Rinpoche

Üks põlvkond istutab puu, teine naudib puu varju. Hiina vanasõna

On võimatu elada nautides, ilma et elataks targalt, hästi ja õiglaselt ning on võimatu elada targalt, hästi ja õiglaselt, ilma et elataks nautides. Epikuros

Keegi on kunagi öelnud, et me ei tea enne, millal on küllalt, kui teame, millal on rohkem kui küllalt. Billie Holiday

Ma olen alati tahtnud olla keegi ... kuid oleksin pidanud seda rohkem täpsustama. Lily Tomlin

See, kes sa oled täna, on su eilsete valikute tulemus. See, kes sa oled homme, on su tänaste valikute tulemus. Pat Messiti

Sa ei saa valida, kuidas sured. Või millal. Sa saad ainult otsustada, kuidas elad. Praegu. Joan Baez

Heida oma unistus komosesse nagu tuulelohe ja ei sa ei tea, mida see tagasi toob - uue elu, uue sõbra, uue armastuse või uue riigi. Anais Nin

Keeruline midagi täpsemalt arvata. Igaühe jaoks leidub selles raamatus oma tõde. Mingi osa minuga ei haakunud, samas mingi osa oli täpselt see, millesse ka mina usun.

Raamatust jäid silma järgmised kohad:
Budismi kõnekäänd: See, mida sa kõige rohkem ihaldad, on sinu suurim probleem.

Džinnid annavad kolm soovi alati seepärast, et pärast kahte esimest täielikku ebaõnnestumist saaksime kasutada kolmandat pääsemaks tagasi olukorda, kus me olime enne džinni pudelist väljalaskmist.

Muutumine ja langus on ühe ja sama mündi kaks poolt ning kumbki pole teisest halvem.

Head mõtteterad:

Kui sa mõistaksid, kui mõjuvõimsad on su mõtted, siis sa ei mõtleks kunagi halba mõtet. Peace Pilgrim

Andesta oma vaenlastele alati, miski ei häiri neid rohkem. Oscar Wilde

Armastus on tuli. Aga sa ei tea kunagi, kas see soojendab su südant või hävitab su maja. Joan Crawford

Armastus - vastupandmatu iha olla vastupandmatult ihaldatud. Mark Twain

Pane käsi minutiks kuumale pliidile ja see minut näib kestvat tunni. Istu kauni tüdrukuga tunnike koos ning see tunnike näib kestvat minuti. SEE ongi realtiivsus. Albert Einstein

Kas sa armstad mind sellepärast, et ma olen ilus või olen ma ilus ma sellepärast, et sa mind armastad. Tuhkatriinu

Armastus on ideaalne, abielu reaalne. Ideaalse ja reaalse sassiajamine ei jää kunagi karistamata. Goethe

A good book about the well known phrase: 'what goes around, comes around'. I liked the stories and case studies!
