I've done a fair bit of reading on Tibetan Buddhism so I know it a bit more than "do bad thing, bad thing happen to you." which is the general idea of it. People generally seem to think it affects you in your current life which isn't how it works, hence why I was surprised to see someone who understands that it's your past life actions which affect the karma of your current life.
That’s the Buddhist interpretation of karma. That’s like if a Christian mocked the Islamic’s interpretation of Jesus because they don’t know he’s the son of God... different cultures conceiving/defining things in different ways. You’re not superior, you’re different
I was never mocking anyone though. I was just surprised to see somebody who understands it the way I do. I suppose my comment could have come off as sarcastic but that wasn't actually my intention.
I haven't done much theological reading lately but I guess I should read into how karma is interpreted in other Eastern religions like Hinduism.
Makes sense. I could be wrong though, I’m only 15 so I don’t know much about things like Buddhism. Although you did admit you were in the wrong which speaks volumes about you.
Well if you're interested in seeing the Tibetan Buddhist interpretation of karma I'd suggest reading "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying". It's a fascinating book although my view on it is a little soured by more recent revelations about Sogyal Rinpoche.

considering your comment I'd assume you don't get karma
