Lord Buddha had not advised [/FONT][FONT=&quot]us to wait for kamma to solve everything. It is also a mistake to think that kamma is the only order operating in the world for us to be concerned about.There’re four other orders[/FONT]   [FONT=&quot]or processes (niyama) which operate in the physical and mental realms according to Buddhism. [/FONT]  (Source: <a href="http://mubss.blogspot.com/2006/06/niyama-dharma-in-buddhism.html" target="_blank">http://mubss.blogspot.com/2006/06/niyama-dharma-in-buddhism.html</a> )Buddhism is all about coming out of suffering and fighting kamma. One should not think       that this freedom from suffering is something we should keep on postponing. It is wrong to think that we have to live with our past sins in misery. If someone falls into a mud hole by mistake he/she    should not think that this is a past sin and I have to live here. He/she should get the help of citta niyama (power of the mind/wisdom) and be determined to find the way out or else shout for help. After that he/she should strive to accrue merits to fight    past sins when the opportunity is there to prevent falling again.    One should always keep in mind that birth as a       human being during a ministry of a Lord Buddha is a very rare opportunity. Although our Lord Buddha had attained parinibbana, we’re still blessed with the teachings of the Blessed One. Lord Buddha had considered Dhamma as the teacher. So we still    have a chance to learn and make use of the precious jewel like knowledge for our own wellbeing. This rare opportunity as a human being is there only for a very short time. After fifty/sixty years (or perhaps a shorter period than that) we have to face death. What will    happen to us after that is something most of us can’t say. But if we’re ready we can face death without any fear. We have not committed any offence and we have accrued enough merits for us to survive till we get another opportunity to hear dhamma. For that, one has to wait for a long time. So do we have enough merits to fight past sins till the arrival of the next Lord Buddha? Keep in mind that we have more sins than merits because we do not get to hear the correct teachings every birth. Out of that also very few births only we get to hear Buddhism. So those who are not practicing perfections for another ministry or to attain nibbana as a Pacceka Buddha it is better to follow the middle path to come out of their suffering. Even if they fail they may escape during the ministry of the next Buddha due to their hard work in this birth by practicing Sila, Samadhi and Panna and also    accruing merits. For those who do not believe in life after death,      Behind each and every thought, emotion, action there’s energy. As long as this Kammic energy is there we have the influence of kamma. So what makes       you think that this energy will cease with the death of our body? Think of a small sound wave produced by you in a closed area where you can hear the echo.    You can hear the same thing again and again. Without the help of your body that small sound wave will survive as long as the energy is there. Have you    not realized that you need some kind of an energy to produce thoughts? Thoughts do not arise effortlessly. You need to make some kind of an effort.    Behind every action also there’s volition. These do not cease as long as the energy is there.Whenever we do something we are accumulating kamma. Evil actions (aananthariya ones) accumulating heavy kammic energy will not cease till we attain parinibbana<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" />. </blockquote>
