A Case Study about the Law of Karma
Comments on the information about “Steve Jobs, where is he now?” in different websites
After the DMC Channel presented information about “Steve Jobs, where is he now?” we find that other websites have made conclusions about this presentation in their own websites based on their personal opinions
Our presentation has never been meant to intentionally insult or defame anyone. It is rather for the specific purpose of learning about the Law of Kamma. We would like to ask that each reader exercises his best judgment regarding this matter.
“Where is Steve Jobs now?” presents knowledge about the Law of Kamma and the round of rebirth undergone by every living being in such a way as to make it easy to understand. Here, we learn about the reality of life so that we can gain an understanding about why we are born, where we will go after we die, what is our life’s objective, how must we conduct our life, etc. The information allows one to become fearful of unwholesome deeds and their destructive consequences, to be more mindful about performing wholesome deeds, and to see the importance of meditation practice in one’s daily life.
The information presented here is but one view and one has the right to believe or disbelieve it.

What caused Steve Jobs to be a successful businessman?
You’ve already heard about the previous deeds that caused Mr. Steve Jobs
to be so clever and highly innovative that he could produce novel and
innovative products that have had a global impact. Today, I’d like to
summarize the main points of this case and elaborate on some of his
previous deeds. These details are highly pertinent to every student’s
pursuit of Perfections. Therefore, learn from them and apply them in
your life.
It is like when we want to get the real taste of peanuts we have to bite
into them and chew them slowly. Likewise, in studying Mr. Steve Jobs’
case it is important that you reflect upon the story and learn as much
from it as possible. Therefore, it is necessary that I elaborate upon
the story at this point.
On Saturday, the
students have already heard about what previous wholesome deeds caused
Mr. Steve Jobs to be so clever and uniquely creative that he could
produce novel and innovative products that have had a global impact.
These previous wholesome deeds had been performed across many lifetimes,
and the accumulated merit had the chance to yield its fruits in this
lifetime. He did not become suddenly clever and innovative in this
lifetime. Nor was he especially blessed by any being. When a bird is
building its nest, it has to start with one twig and slowly add more and
more twigs to it until the nest is completed. This takes time and
effort. Mr. Steve Jobs’ success in this lifetime is the culmination of
all the wholesome deeds that he had performed little by little across
many lifetimes.
But we cannot go into every single lifetime because that will take a few
earth ages. Therefore, I will cite just a few lifetimes in order to
give you a better idea about the working mechanism of the Law of Kamma.
There are altogether seven factors that cause Mr. Steve Jobs to meet with success in this lifetime.
The first factor:
He had met virtuous friends especially during the existence that he
encountered a drought. In that existence, he had the opportunity to
listen to and converse about the Dhamma with a senior monk who had
achieved meditative attainments. That was the beginning of what caused
Mr. Steve Jobs to be clever and uniquely innovative in this lifetime.
The second factor:
He had accumulated Wisdom Perfection by employing his talents and
abilities in a wholesome manner by practicing altruism and supporting
Buddhism across many lifetimes. In one particular lifetime, he was a
merchant of dinnerware and kitchenware, and had employed his talents and
abilities to invite the town people to accumulate merit alongside him
by giving away his dinnerware. He was filled with great pleasure and
joy when he saw the people turn up to make merit at the temple.
The third factor:
In the same lifetime, he had accumulated merit by practicing meditation
until he could experience a light outside his body. He studied
meditation practice with the senior monk who had achieved meditative
attainments.
The fourth factor:
In the same lifetime, he had accumulated merit by offering alms to the
senior monk who had achieved meditative attainments as well as all the
righteous monks in the temple. Righteous monks are the world’s most
abundant merit-field. He began by offering alms to the monks for seven
consecutive days, then every day for three consecutive months. And
finally, he had offered alms to the monks all year long every year for
the rest of his life.
The fifth factor:
In the same lifetime, he had performed the duty of a virtuous friend by
inviting the masses to accumulate merit alongside him with a heart
filled with great joy.
The sixth factor:
Each time after he made merit, he also made a resolute wish. He had
made the same resolute wish repeatedly in that as well as many
subsequent lifetimes. He asked that he be clever and creative and that
everything he designs and produces is sought after by the people all
over the world. It is important that one makes a resolute wish each
time one makes merit. To reach its destination, a boat needs a rudder.
Likewise, one’s resolute wish acts like life’s rudder; it helps one to
realize one’s aspiration.
The seventh factor:
Mr. Steve Jobs loved his work. He was hard-working, resolute, and
persistent. He was observant and applied his analytical skill to solve
every work-related problem. These outstanding characteristics have been accumulated by Mr. Steve Jobs across many lifetimes.
These seven
factors are behind Mr. Steve Jobs’ success in this lifetime. He was not
granted success by anyone but his success is the result of the
wholesomeness accumulated across many lifetimes. The Lord Buddha
teaches “Atta hi atta nonatho”: We are our own refuge.
