Wow. Walk on water--explain Karma in your words in one sentence--walk on water--explain Karma in your words in one sentence. Sorry, I don't see the correlation. One seems to take no supernatural, miraculous ability and the other does.

That is because you have to knowledge of Karma. You could probably say what you know about Karma in one sentence, but I could give a lecture on the topic.

I will show you what I mean: I will give you my one sentence, but you will not understand.

If Cause and Effect is the water in a river, Karma in the direction that the river is flowing.

Nothing, I just wanted to see if you could do what you ask me to do, relative to things that pertain to your world view or belief system.

When I asked for one sentence, it was a joke. I was teasing you about your sometimes overly filled posts. 😉

Why do you believe in something that cannot be empirically and rationally proven to exist?

Karma is not a thing; it is a concept. Karma describes a relationship between cause and effect and cause and effect. Causality can be proved.

Causality is provable, but not Karma (with all of its reincarnation features).

Karma talks about reincarnation, but Karma and reincarnation are two different things. You don't have to believe in reincarnation to believe in Karma.

But Karma and reincarnation have mutual implications. For example, based on Karma a person's lot or destiny in another life is predicated on what he/she has done or how he/she has lived in this life.

Although Karma and reincarnation are "distinguishable," they are never understood (as such) separately. (They occur together.)

That is one understanding of Karma, but it is not a Nichiren Buddhist understanding. You really should read my thread on Karma.

Where is Nichiren? Has he reincarnated in another life?

Why do you follow Nichiren if you do not know what has befallen him or where his spirit is? (I am sure that his bones are in the grave.)

We follow his teaching. We do not worship a dead person like you do. 😉 😂
