Q: Dear Master, please explain what kind of karma it is when there are dictators like Hitler, Lenin, and Ho Chi Minh, who caused wars that killed millions of people and made millions of others suffer.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: That is the collective karma of humankind, which, as I told you, consists of the by-products of the inter-relationships between humans and other beings in this world or other worlds. Those kinds of by-products become a kind of very forceful, strong energy, hanging around our Earth’s atmosphere. And when it is too condensed, then it has to manifest into some kind of visible form, such as a very great dictator who kills millions, etc.
Since you have asked, these people are not to be blamed also, in a sense, but we ourselves are to be blamed. If each one of us leads a life of virtues, keeps the commandments, and refrains from killing of any kind, including indirect killing by keeping the vegan diet, then the world would never have bred these kinds of dictators in the first place. These are there to remind us of the virtuous way, and if we are not awakened yet, then these things will continue to remind us until the whole of humankind is awakened.
