This book needs to be tackled with a very open-minded attitude especially if you are a non-Buddhist and not familiar with the karma and rebirth concepts. In the same way that the law of gravity will not disappear into thin air just because you don’t believe it exists, neither will the law of karma and the cycle of rebirth. They won’t just go away or stop working only because you think they are total nonsense.
Quite often, we don’t know why things go wrong as much as we don’t know why things go right. We can hide behind the curtain of science and do our best to rationally explain both natural phenomena and social events that may cause human catastrophe. But we also know that those logical words are simply not enough and they don’t make any sense for broken-hearted people.
The truth is that we do need to ‘understand’ why certain event only happens to us and not to other people. Should we have the answers, they will, at least, allow us to let go and move on with our lives and above all for the sake of our own sanity. The trouble is we are all potential victims to the casualties of life as we have no way of knowing what is waiting for us beyond the calm and extraordinary placid corridor. One minute everything is absolutely fine but the next minute life is everything but normal. Without the comprehension of the root cause of our own tragedies, we may have to take the anger, hate and bitterness with us to the afterlife. Humanity urgently needs to know the karma and rebirth concepts with the new approach I offer to you in this book. It will help you to understand the root cause of all the unexplainable events that you may come across. There is more harm in not to believe than to believe – at least for the benefit of your inner peace.
