Hi Murchovski,

I'm puzzled because the above statement seems to imply that all BWB members have identical views about karma and I don't think this is necessarily the case.

If you start thinking about post mortem karma then it can only be speculation.

Buddha said in sutta AN 4.77 that the precise working out of the results of kamma was an unconjecturable which could cause madness and vexation.

with kind wishes,

Thanks Aloka.
I certainly don't want to go mad or become vexed.

I find that a good lot of books on Buddhism tend to adopt a too serious approach on this and other metaphysical issues.

This floundering about may well prevent adequate attention on the here and the now.
