| Quote of the moment |
| If the evolution of the human species is entirely a matter of the environment and the modification of genes, chromosomes, and so forth, then there really isn't place for karma at all. It simply wouldn't fit because all the effects would presumably be entirely accounted for by their physical constituents. However, cells evolve to become more and more complex and then later evolve into human beings. There are many options, some seventy trillion, that one human could become, based on the assortment of the parental genes. Yet just one option is taken, and if the question is asked - why? - then karma is directly related to this question. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, March 17, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
