Executive Summary: Karma of Abandoning a Pregnant Wife and Forcing Abortion
A case study from the Dream in Dream Kindergarten exposing the horrific combination of sexual misconduct and murder. Refusing responsibility and brutally terminating the life of one’s own unborn child guarantees a desolate family life and the terrifying fate of being repeatedly aborted in future lifetimes.
1. Death in the Womb
In a past life, this man was a chronic philanderer consumed by lust (violating the 3rd precept). When one of his partners became pregnant, instead of taking responsibility, he coldly denied his involvement. To protect his reputation and avoid the “burden,” he aggressively threatened and forced her to get an “abortion.” This act is the premeditated murder of a completely defenseless, innocent human being—his own flesh and blood. It is a catastrophic violation of the 1st precept (Panatipata), resulting in a deeply vengeful unborn spirit (karmic creditor) attaching itself to him.
2. The Retribution of Karma
- Repeatedly Murdered in the Womb: The karmic energy violently pulls his soul to be reincarnated into the wombs of mothers who are unprepared or unwilling. Consequently, he is repeatedly “aborted” before he can even be born. He is forced to experience the excruciating agony of being shredded by medical instruments inside the womb over and over again, across multiple lifetimes, exactly mirroring the fate he forced upon his own child.
- Childless and Shattered Marriages: If he finally manages to survive birth and grow into an adult, the karma ensures he will suffer from severe infertility. If a pregnancy does occur, it will almost certainly end in a sudden, tragic miscarriage. This perpetual lack of children will create a cold, fractured home, ultimately leading to painful divorces.
- Severe Reproductive Diseases: The residual karma of abortion aggressively targets the reproductive organs. He (or she) will suffer from severe health crises, such as aggressive tumors, cervical cancer, or prostate cancer, requiring agonizing surgeries and lifelong suffering.
3. Spiritual Solutions
Luang Por Dhammajayo sternly teaches that abortion, regardless of the justification, is the murder of a human being. It is an incredibly heavy sin accompanied by vengeful karmic creditors (the spirits of the aborted children) who will ruthlessly sabotage the perpetrator’s life. Anyone who has committed this grave error must halt the cycle immediately. They must dedicate themselves to performing major merits—offering Sanghadana, actively releasing animals to grant them life, and practicing intense, sincere meditation. They must transfer all this merit directly to the “Child” they aborted, begging for their forgiveness (Ahosi Kamma) from the absolute bottom of their heart to dilute this devastating karmic curse.
