ANALYTICAL STUDY OF KARMA, HELL AND HEAVEN IN BUDDHISM 2
ANALYTICAL STUDY OF KARMA, HELL AND HEAVEN IN BUDDHISM 2
By Uthai Eksaphang
In the second chapter I discuss the different questions like, what is life ? And how does it progress ? What is after this life ? and so on and so forth. The result of the good and bad actions decide the life after our death. The rebirth takes place according to the actions that we do in our life here and now.
In this regard we can put our hope on the five group of existence: Panca-Khandha : which means the joint of life. This five group of existence to be the structure of all animals. We get enough materials about it from Tripitaka and other Buddhist literature that discuss about the topic. We get more inspirations from the character of mind ( Cits, Cetasik, Rupa and Nibbhana ), in the Buddhist philosophy to reflect for to see the life, how it is going 0n according to the Law of Nature ?
Paticcasamupada that is to say : to see the beginning of life which everybody wants to be born and to die and to show the place of re-birth, the progress of birth. According to Lord Buddha in Indaka Sutta there are five points in each, such as:
1.Kalala which means the embryo in the first week after conception.
2.Abbuda which means the character of flesh and viscuous (condensed ).
3.Pesi which mean a piece of flesh or meat.
4.Ghana which is a character of a chunk ( a mass ) to become hard to set strong.
5.Pancasakha : which means the character of five knobs of the head.
After that the developments of the body takes place such as hair, fingernails, etc. About all these we get enough informations from the different literatures which is written about it. Finally, the Buddhist philosophy gives the needs of human being and to give the aim of life and the matter for how to reach the top of life.
The third chapter throws light on Theravada Buddhism which is the oldest form of Buddhism. According to it, actions of persons are governed by his cetana. The Karma can be divided by its means, i.e. good or bad. The cetana and result of actions, the Law of Nature is the another way to study of comparative study of Karma.

I read parts of your article briefly and I thought of the time I used Microsoft Word’s ‘grammar checking’ to help me clean up many grammatical issues in my thesis. I was using Word for WinXP then. I don’t know if Word still has that tool in Word for Win10. There may be ‘online checking on the Net’.
I beg you to revise your article. For example “…In this regard we can put our hope on the five group of existence: Panca-Khandha : which means the joint of life. This five group of existence to be the structure of all animals. We get enough materials about it from Tripitaka and other Buddhist literature that discuss about the topic. We get more inspirations from the character of mind ( Cits, Cetasik, Rupa and Nibbhana ), in the Buddhist philosophy to reflect for to see the life, how it is going 0n according to the Law of Nature ?…” contains issue like ‘the five group’ (the five groups); ‘Panca-Khandha : which means the joint of life’ (pañca khandha which means the composite of life - joint=point of connection; composite=conceptual whole made up of parts); …
I recommend “The Pali Text Society’s Pali-English dictionary” (there are online versions and offline Stardict formatted versions) for guide to writing Romanized Pali terms (words) such as ‘citta’, ‘cetasika’, ‘nibbāna’,…).
I would also search the Web for a method for keying special letters like ā, ī, ñ, ṅ, … that works on your keyboard and system. (I use “Compose key” on Linux. Yours may be the compose key sequences for Windows.)
