I enjoyed reading and listening to this post. So much to think about but the idea of ‘group karma’ really tweaked my interest especially with all the suffering taking place around the world that is constantly in the headlines. How does group karma emanate ? How does it relate to countries in conflict that perhaps 2 or 3 years ago offered their people normal lives where one could work, put food on the table, go to school, enjoy family and friends and live in a home with running water and heating. Any suggestions on what to read to help me understand how things can change so dramatically from one day to the next for people living in such countries.
Hi Michele, I can't point you in the direction of a book specifically about group karma. It doesn't apply only to countries of course. Our friends, class/workmates, people who live in the same communities, even those we may find ourselves on the same aircraft with - all of these are examples of group karma. It is not so much an emanation, as causes we have created in the past that mean we are forced to experience reality a particular way.
Thankyou David. More questions now spring to mind 😱… with not having access to a local Buddhist group or like minded traveller I only hope that some of my previous actions will result in my crossing paths with a guru / tribe (preferably sooner rather than later) to help me understand what is unraveling to be a wonderful way of looking at reality.
