Why would you care about another life if it is detached from your other lifes?

    It might not be your carrot. Total liberation is apparently a pleasurable state. It also has the additional effects of not harming another being through our unresolved kamma through a rebirth.

    Another way to show compassion is to move closer to liberation so that the transmitted kamma is of a lighter quality and inclined towards liberation. We regularly wish strangers well and even do good works for them in this lifetime. Sometimes our effects can eminstr past this life at least according to Buddhism.

    I hope that helped.

      If I understand you correctly, you say that it simply boils down to not wanting to harm any other being which includes “yourself” in the future. Right?
