I don't recall him saying "ALL the problems" were caused by karma, I think
you are generalizing. I like the naiveté of "imbalanced water element" as
the cause of floods--hell even a hydrologist or meteorologist might agree
with that!

Because karma is not a linear or simple phenomenon. Perhaps I should post my
obligatory karma FAQ again...even a seed needs certain conditions if it is
to spring into manifestation as a plant...karma is more like that. Was this
"crop of people" sharing some common karmic causes? Perhaps.

I'm sorry, that's extra.
The intent was to send something to Lhundrub which happened to be by someone
he cared dearly about, one of his teachers. If he cracks even a dim smile,
my intent was served.
