Karma is the record of services. Karma is the term used in Buddhist teaching. Taoists use the term te. Christians us the term "deed. " Many other spiritual beings use the term "virtue. " Karma, te, deed, and virtue are the same thing but in different words. To understand karma is to understand all of these words.
Alan Watts
There is no mission, nor interest to convert, and yet I believe that if this state of consciousness could become more universal, the pretentious nonsense which passes for the serious business of the world would dissolve in laughter. We should see at once that the high ideals for which we are killing and regimenting each other are empty and abstract substiutes for the unheeded miracles that surround us - not only in the obvious wonders of nature but also in the overwhelming uncanny fact of mere existence.
