<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>and the relations between each existence and the rational of the occurrences, each action and </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>the consequence which shows the rules.</strong></span></p>
<p>The rule and the reason why a wood burns = wood was made of a compound of the matters.</p>
<p>The matters such as C, H, O,N, Mg, Ca, K, S, P, Fe &#8212;&#8211;. And each matter such as H, Hydrogen was made of</p>
<p>subatomic particle, Proton, Neutron, Electron &#8212;&#8211;.</p>
<p>The number of Electrons define which matters are tend to combine, such as  H, C  with  O,  in order to</p>
<p>gain the more stable / balanced / harmonized state to a molecular like  H2O or CO2.</p>
<p>With the existence of those matters preconditions an occurrence of Fire, which occurs when</p>
<p>somebody or something put a fire = by a match or lightning etc &#8212;&#8211;.</p>
<p>All those observations are the basis of his understanding of the<span style="color:#000080;"><strong> Karma, cause and the result.</strong></span></p>
<p>Existence of  Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen etc are the cause, somebody light it up is the cause too.</p>
<p>The fire is the result.  Still, there is far more ramification such as the produced CO2 &#8212;&#8211; with huge scale</p>
<p>burning of the jungle, contributes even the change of climate and on the end, small island may disappear</p>
<p>with rising sea level, causing the misery to the people living there, and so on.   All those links are the Karma.</p>
<p><strong>This is, in fact, the approach with the science ( whatever it was  primitive on the time ).</strong></p>
<p>To see the Karma need to have the detached clear eyes, open mind, and the deep insight.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>The reason why Buddha approached in this way was, nothing other than to eliminate the </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>uncertainty caused by the idea of the Atman which said to carry effects of  former life.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>To deny the imaginary existence of the perpetual soul, so-called Atman was the starting </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>point of his philosophy to elucidate the truth of the Dharma.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p><strong>In today’s approach in science, the attitude is the same.</strong></p>
<p>To eliminate uncertainty, make the variables to the clearly defined minimum.</p>
<p>Such as in the clinical medical science,  make the condition the same as much as possible.</p>
<p>And to eliminate the bias caused by the most unreliable factor of human eyes and the mind,</p>
<p>use the double-blind test and so on.<span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>   The so-called Clinical Detachment = Selfless eyes</strong> </span><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>is the must.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>The Buddha&#8217;s approach with [Selflessness] was not a coincidence.   It was the must to deal </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>with the Truth,  not only for the sake of promoting the idea to deny Atman.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p>Even in a today&#8217;s clinical trials, such as try to establish the effect of a medicine, use double-blind test involving</p>
<p>as many as possible number of guinea-pig in two groups, one for a counter test with placebo &#8212;&#8211; still, there</p>
<p>could be a funny coincidence.</p>
<p>Looks almost the same and complying the same condition in the pre-examination, yet still one of the group</p>
<p>may consist the people who got certain tendency.  Hence, there could be a certain bias toward the result.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Nobody could predict such coincidence. &#8212;&#8211; Still, it could happen.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">This is still the Karma. &#8212;&#8211; invisible part of it.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>non</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Somewhat invisible hand acted to cause this bias, as the part of the Dharma is invisible. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Sometimes it acts toward the better direction but sometimes not. Yet strangely, to </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>somebody toward one direction and to others opposite direction.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>To pay attention to this fact and contemplates the existences of this invisible hand is the </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>spiritualism.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>This spiritualism was called as the Panya Paramita in the Buddhism which was not clearly </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>explained even by Buddha himself. &#8212;&#8211; In fact he said to have kept silence.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>As Buddha kept silence,  this is the part of the Dharma,  human-being shouldn&#8217;t </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>touch = leave as unknowable.  </strong></span>( Still, strangely it is noticeable to somebody)</p>
<p>An attempt to decipher this unknown was the Tantrism.  Though, as it is unknowable,  it wouldn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>Otherwise thousands of Tantra Superman could have been ruling the world &#8212;&#8211; but didn&#8217;t happened.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">non</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>What I&#8217;ve observed so far is,  it seems as long as we live in mushin away from greed and ego, </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>the Karma is kind to us.</strong></span>   This is the reason why the millionaire become philanthropist in their later life.</p>
<p>(at least avoid to have a premature miserable death) &#8212;&#8211; Late is still better than nothing.</p>
<p>They buy a time.    Good on them. 😀</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>___/\___</strong></span></p>
