Un'infanzia negata nella più totale assenza d'amore, sfociata in un'adolescenza all'insegna della criminalità, fino alla reclusione nel carcere di massima sicurezza di San Quentin a soli diciannove anni, e in aggiunta a tutto questo l'imputazione infondata per concorso in omicidio di una guardia carceraria costatagli il trasferimento nel braccio della morte. In quel luogo di vite senza futuro, vecchiaia, rimorso e rimpianto, Jarvis si ritrova solo con se stesso, a dover fare i conti con il suo passato di sofferenza subìta e inferta.

A tulku is a fully enlightened one (buddha) or highly accomplished adept (siddha) who chooses to be reborn again and again for the benefit of all beings.

Tibetan Buddhists have, for well over a millennium, been meticulously following the tradition of finding, recognizing, enthroning, training, and venerating these revered figures who provide teachings of liberation for both monks and laypeople.

Hoe kan het dat de arrogante collega, die iedereen slecht behandelt, toch succes heeft en de carrièreladder beklimt? Hoe kan het dat de moeder, die altijd taart aan de buren geeft, haar kind verliest? Het boeddhisme biedt een andere verklaring: Karma.

Het idee van karma helpt ons de bovenstaande voorbeelden te plaatsen, het levenspad te begrijpen en gerechtigheid te erkennen.

Esta afirmación es conocida por todos nosotros. Sin embargo, la vida a veces nos parece injusta. Algunas personas atribuyen estos eventos de la vida al destino, la recompensa o el castigo.

No escuro, a lanterna só ilumina três metros à frente. Assim é o caminho da vida. Somos capazes de enxergar apenas até onde a luz nos mostra. Para onde vamos? O que será no futuro?
