Oh, then how come several forum members said Cit is ok for Christians to practice Buddhism so call the way of life? Mind to elaborate more? From what I know there is no rebirth and karma in Christianity.
meditation is widely accepted in Christianity, and meditation is a core part in Buddhism,
the basis of all religion have the same path way in a sense, even thou Buddhism is not a religion, the rules of conduct are of positive light in the teachings
so why do you need to add our own tainted human judgment into any positive conduct? Karma = you reap what you sow
are you sure there is no such teachings similar to Karma in the Bible?
Galatians chapter 6 and verse 7

Job 4:8 – "...They that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness...," what do they reap? It says , "...they reap the same, they reap the same." There's something about sowing that we need to understand and what can come back to you? Some people call it "karma," other people call it different things but the BIBLE makes it very clear, "what you sow is what you reap."
We find that in history the Roman statesman, philosopher, orator Cicero, he made the statement, "As you have sown, so shall you reap. As you have sown, so shall you reap." And of course we find in Galations 6:7 , I'll ask you to turn there with me, please and notice what the admonition of scripture is. And remember the scripture is the sound and solid admonition that comes from the eternal God Himself to all of us. It says,
Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived..." Now the very fact it says that indicates that we can be deceived on this particular issue if we're not careful. We have to understand something about this thing of sowing and reaping as it applies to us as human beings. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man ( as well as a woman) sows...," meaning as they live their lives, minute to minute, hour to hour, day by day, year by year, and it goes on. It says, whatever an individual sows, "...that will they also reap."
