The Dalai Lama also commented on actress Sharon Stone's suggestion ...

He indicated he had heard Stone's comment and said, "Of course, from the Buddhist view point every event is karma. So the tragedy on Tibetans, the tragedy in Burma, tragedy in China — all this is karma."

The Dalai Lama is in Sydney to deliver a series of meditation lectures.

达赖喇嘛的意思世事都有因果，无论是藏人的灾难（不知道是不是指现在他所讲的汉人对西藏的 culture genocide），缅甸的灾难，中国的灾难都是因果循环的结果。

以我浅薄的对佛教的理解，我认为达赖喇嘛的说法是有佛教根据的。

不过以达赖喇嘛的推理，也就是说藏人现在的处境不是外界强加的，而是他们自己前世今生所作所为的因果循环。

我现在有一个问题，不知道哪位对佛教有比较深的了解的朋友能够给点拨一下。那就是既然佛教中提到这个世事都是因果所致的理论，它有没有提出人们该如何对待这个因果循环呢？特别是在你处在一个坏的因果循环中的时候？佛教是教导人们接受这个结果，继续修炼自己，多做善事，以求菩萨慈悲，使得你今生或来世可以得到好的因果报应，还是教导人们要奋起反抗，用自己的斗争去改变自己的因果报应呢？而且如果要反抗，但是因果应该是自身所作所为造成的，那又该反抗谁呢？

我想达赖喇嘛怎么说也应该是高僧，修炼了这么多年，这些问题肯定应该有个自圆其说的解释吧。

WHAT CAN I DO TO REMOVE PREVIOUS NEGATIVE KARMA?

Nobody likes to suffer, so we all like to rid ourselves of negative karmic potential.
There are several possibilities, and in fact we may need to try and apply all of these methods as much as we can:

* To avoid having negative thoughts that lead to negative actions in the future, we need to observe and control our own thoughts and behaviour, and destroy our negative attitudes.
* Similarly, we can observe/study (meditate) our own mind and encourage positive thoughts that lead to positive actions.
* We can avoid negative karmic seeds to ripen by purifying it, using the four powers of purification (see below). Although this does not eliminate the negative karmic actions, it can avoid the results to occur.
* Ultimately, when we realise emptiness directly (see the page on Wisdom), and remove all our delusions, we are not under the control of past karma anymore.

我自己也查了一下，从这里看，也是应该自行修炼才是。
