From what you've said I've always assumed that Yoga and Buddhism were pretty similar but as I understand it, wishing harm on anyone is the antithesis of Buddhism. I don't know how much the meditation practices in Yoga differ from those in Buddhism, but I thought the whole point was self-mastery and self-understanding at source in your own mind. Not about controlling the outside world but understanding the inner world. So recognising anger and everything else as the transient things that they are, that come and go... dukkha... and that you can attach to or not. So it just seems strange to me why you seem so full of anger... cos that's not how I understand the goals of Buddhism at all. I know you're not a Buddhist, but as I said, Yoga and Buddhism do seem similar and you've said yourself that the Buddha first studied Yoga.
Karma does not wish any harm.
It is all about balancing back the lost balance.
Even in physics it is said that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
That is how the universe works Emjay.
Nothing to do with me.
