Baptism and karma correction according to Buddhist scriptures

Abstract

This book is titled “Atonement for Sins, Correcting Karma According to Buddhist Scriptures” written by “Phra Phawana Phisan Methee Wi. (Prasert Mantasevi)”. He sees that “sin” is not something that everyone desires, regardless of their religion or whether they are irreligious or wicked people. They will always feel bad when they are branded as sinners or criticized for “committing sin”, even if they are about to slit a chicken’s neck. This is because sin is the name of evil, badness, which leads to suffering and ruin in their future lives. For those who have religion, they are afraid that they will end up in hell. For those who do not believe in the next world, they are afraid that the happiness, comfort, and hope they have in the present will be ruined and impoverished by sin. Many criminals, even when they are arrested and prosecuted with clear evidence, still try to evade the charges that they did not do, that they are being bullied. Even though they are not afraid of the punishment they will receive according to the law, they are afraid of being branded as “sinners, evil people”. For this reason, the enlightened wisdom of the Lord Buddha clearly knows that sin causes all living beings to fall to hell, whether they believe it or not, because this is the law of nature. Regardless of any belief or religion, when rational people believe in the enlightened wisdom of the Buddha, they tend to think back and worry about their past sinful mistakes.
