And inspired by Chinese word threads by @chu I have been thinking about 業
This is how the #Buddhism concept Karma was translated into Chinese.
業 has its original meaning as "work" or "achievement".... in this translation Karma becomes one's work that cannot be shaken off and needed to complete before one reach nirvana. I'd tried but failed find whoever linked this meaning to Karma? Would appreciate any tip #mastodon #hivemind
