[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Hindus really believe that? So the people in Boston suffering after the bomb-- they deserved that? The garment workers in Bangladesh -- the hundreds that died horrifying deaths when their building collapsed-- that was justice?[/quote] No. Hindus do not believe that suffering is "deserved," or that one has to suffer in order to reach "heaven". Hinduism is interpreted in many different ways, but the basic idea is that through each life, you try to become one with the positive energy in the universe. As you become better and better at this, you are less and less affected by the frailities of the human condition. Example -- you may be blind, poor, or born subjugated under a colonial power -- but none of that matters, because you have the power within you to make positive change. Eventually, you will become totally one with the universe, and no longer be re-born. [/quote]
