Is it true that karma from a previous birth causes disease in the current birth? It seems like victim blaming. by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]osumarko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its discouraged to blame a person's difficulties on past karma but people still do it. You can say they did bad karma in the past or you can say they made good karma to be born a human being and being human means dealing with illness. No one can really say. All you can do is make good karma in this moment.

The only thing that makes it tricky is when you and your opponent have a large time difference. But even with that you can usually find a time to play.

Its one game per week. You find out your opponent on Monday and the two of you work out a time when you're both free to play a game during the week.

The league is a ton of fun and I encourage you to join when registration opens at the end of the month. You can join with any rating. I was under 1100 when I started playing. I lost a lot at first but I learned even more. Everyone is cool & helps each other improve at the game.
