Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.
"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)
Karma
Philosophy / Metaphysics of Karma
The characteristic feature of Buddhism is the doctrine of Karma, which is a subtle substitute for the conception of personal continuity. According to this view it is not the concrete individuality of the soul that survives, and migrates into a new life, but only the karma, or action, i.e., the sum of the man's deeds, his merits, the ethical resultant of his previous life, its total value, stripped of its former individuation, which is regarded as accidental. As the karma is greater or less, so will the next transmigration be a promotion or a degradation. At times the degradation may be so extreme that karma is embodied in an inanimate form, as in the case of Gautama's disciple who, for negligence in his master's service, was reduced after death to the form of a broomstick. (Catholic Encyclopedia: Buddhism, 1911)
A special form of this belief is the doctrine of Karma - the persisting existence and transmission through re-incarnations of the sum of the past deeds and merits of the individual. (Catholic Encyclopedia: Immortality, 1911)
The Pali word kamma or the Sanskrit word
karma (from the root kr to do) literally means ‘action’,
‘doing’. But in the Buddhist theory of karma it has a specific
meaning: it means only ‘volitional action’ not all action. Nor
does it mean the result of karma as many people wrongly and loosely use
it. In Buddhist terminology karma never means its effect; its effect is
known as the ‘fruit’ or the ‘result’ of karma.
Volition may relatively be good or bad, just as desire may relatively be
good or bad. So karma may be good or bad relatively. Good karma produces
good effects and bad karma bad effects. ‘Thirst’, volition,
karma, whether good or bad, has one force as its effect: force to continue-
to continue in a good or bad direction. Whether good or bad it is relative,
and is within the cycle of continuity (samsara). An Arahant, though he acts,
does not accumulate karma, because he is free from the false idea of self,
free from the ‘thirst’ for continuity and becoming, free from
all other defilements and impurities. For him there is no rebirth.
The theory of karma should not be confused with so-called
‘moral justice’ or ‘reward and punishment’. The
idea of moral justice, or reward and punishment, arises out of the conception
of a supreme being, a God, who sits in judgement, who is a law-giver and
who decides what is right and wrong. The term ‘justice’ is ambiguous
and dangerous, and in its name more harm than good is done to humanity.
The theory of karma is the theory of cause and
effect, of action and reaction; it is a natural law, which has
nothing to do with the idea of justice or reward and punishment. Every volitional
action produces its effects or results. If a good action produces good effects,
it is not justice, or reward, meted out by anybody or any power sitting
in judgement of your action, but this is in virtue of its own nature, its
own law.
This is not difficult to understand. But what is difficult is that, according
to karma theory, the effects of a volitional action may continue to manifest
themselves even in a life after death. (Walpola Rahula,
What the Buddha Taught)
