Buddhist monks ring bells as they walk in an effort to alert any small creatures in their path to move out of the way. Killing is bad karma whether the creature is big or small. This is why I'm reducing my animal consumption. I do not want to reincarnate back on earth. Fuck that.

>Karma
Isn't basing what to do on getting good boy points for a comfier next life or to ascend proof that you won't ascend? The motive is not goodness but fear. There are also a few Christians who are the same about believe to not go to hell. The goal should be reached at all costs even if it adds up some bad karma. You're more likely to win if you play on hardcore mode with saves disabled

Karma is not a system of rewards and punishments. The division between the ego and the world is arbitrary. We know from quantum physics, biology, ecology, economics, etc that everything in the world is intricately connected in a single undifferentiated system or field. Karma and rebirth are constructs to help us understand this and expand our awareness beyond the ego. So the motive for someone minding their karma is not fear but insight. Ironically to your point Jesus was aware of this and taught “what you did for the least of these… you did for me.”
