Karma?

Master Kosen – Published on December 12 – karma

Question

Hello, I am a final-year translation student. I am translating a book that talks a great deal about karma, and I have encountered a few problems with terminology and understanding. I hope you can help me resolve them.

Do we speak of:

—Karmic punishment? What exactly does that “consist of”?

—Can we speak of a karmic path? (karmic circuits)

—Do we clear our karmic path, or rather purify karma?

—Can we restore our karma? Our karmic path?

—Do objects have karma? A hotel, for example. In the
book I am translating, John Lennon feels that McCartney will “ruin the karma” of his hotel
if he stays there. Is that possible?

I look forward to your answer. Thank you in advance.

Elise

Answer from Master Kosen

Karma exists only if you believe in it.
