Executive Summary: Karma of Abandoning One’s Children
A case study from the Dream in Dream Kindergarten exposing the deep agony of profound irresponsibility. Coldly abandoning one’s own flesh and blood to face the world alone guarantees the perpetrator will be reincarnated as a destitute orphan, utterly starved of love and completely lacking support in all future lifetimes.
1. The Severed Bond
In a past life, this man loved to indulge in pleasure but utterly refused any commitment. When he impregnated his partner and she gave birth, instead of stepping up as a father, he cowardly fled, abandoning his defenseless infant. When the mother tragically passed away shortly after, the child was left as a destitute “orphan,” forced to wander the streets, starving and constantly bullied by society. Severing the bloodline and coldly abandoning a completely helpless being—one’s own child—is a deeply devastating sin that inflicts a permanent, agonizing scar on the child’s soul.
2. The Retribution of Karma
- Reborn as an Abandoned Orphan: In his current life, this heavy karma magnetically pulls him to be born into a fractured, unwilling family. The moment he is born, his own parents dump him in a garbage bin or leave him on the steps of an orphanage. He is forced to grow up as a completely unwanted “orphan,” never once experiencing the warmth or embrace of parental love, perfectly mirroring the fate he forced upon his own child.
- Starved for Love and Chronically Betrayed: An intense, agonizing void of loneliness will consume his heart for his entire life. As an adult, when he desperately seeks love and validation from romantic partners, he is invariably deceived, manipulated, and abruptly abandoned. He will never experience a stable, genuinely loving relationship.
- Total Lack of Patrons and Support: The karma of abandoning someone who relied on him ensures his own life is completely devoid of patrons or mentors. Whenever he faces a severe crisis or desperately needs help, absolutely no one will step forward. He will be forced to struggle through life’s harshest challenges completely alone.
3. Spiritual Solutions
Luang Por Dhammajayo teaches that bringing a life into this world demands absolute responsibility for that life. Abandoning one’s child is a catastrophic sin that curses the perpetrator with immense desolation across lifetimes. Anyone who has committed this grave error must immediately return to financially and emotionally support their child (if still possible). If it is too late, they must aggressively perform merits by sponsoring orphanages, providing scholarships for destitute children, and feeding the homeless. They must dedicate all this merit directly to the child they abandoned, begging for profound forgiveness to dilute this karmic curse of total isolation.
