Karma refers to the obstacles one faces in this life due to misdeeds committed in past lives. In the 16th chapter of the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha teaches that all karmic obstacles should be purified through recitation to attain enlightenment directly. For those with heavy karmic burdens, it is necessary to first resolve these obstacles in order to pursue the correct path of practice. Living in poverty, experiencing misfortune, or suffering from incurable diseases are also explained as obstacles caused by karma.

From hereditary diseases to chronic illnesses, most ailments trouble humans from birth like karmic obstacles. Human diseases, to some extent, are related to DNA mutations. DNA mutations acquired by ancestors at certain points in evolution act as vulnerability factors for diseases in descendants, much like the manifestation of demonic obstacles caused by karma.

Human evolution began about 100,000 years ago in the savanna region of East Africa. Since then, humans migrated through Mesopotamia and spread across Asia and Europe, writing the history of great migrations. As tribes moved and adapted to environmental changes, individual genetic blueprints changed. Survivors who endured diseases and climate changes recorded their unique experiences in their DNA. Although humans had no choice but to adopt DNA mutations as a survival strategy, this ultimately created so-called karmic obstacles that make them vulnerable to certain diseases.

During the great human migrations, survivors endured salt and food shortages and succeeded in survival. Evolution selected those who conserved salt for reuse or survived on low energy. However, today’s material abundance in human society has led to an excess of salt and energy, causing humans who conserve salt or use energy sparingly to falter. They have fallen into the trap of reverse evolution. Facing an environment completely opposite to what they adapted to, humanity can only helplessly witness the epidemic of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.

Moreover, industrialization in the 20th century inevitably caused a flood of chemical substances, and chemical pollution has led to an epidemic of cancer. Humans are inadequately responding to the rapid environmental changes they created, and the genome DNA is again fluctuating through changes.

DNA mutations that began by chance for adaptation become inevitable. Inevitability is passed down to descendants like karma. If genome DNA mutations are regarded as a form of karma, genome analysis would be like reading an individual’s karmic scripture. The magic of the 21st century is DNA sequencing technology. Decoding karmic scripture has begun to establish itself as a future bioindustry and is developing into a big data industry.

Humans are trying to understand the meaning of individual DNA mutations to predict diseases. About a decade ago, initial attempts at disease prediction had high failure rates and caused disappointment, but since being selected as one of the top 10 technologies to change humanity in 2018, success rates have increased to the point where it is called DNA astrology.

Genome information-based personalized precision medicine has already begun. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily slowed the major trend of the 4th industrial revolution based on medical information, a medical revolution will occur within 3 to 5 years when genome information analysis becomes available for under $200. Information medicine mediated by smartphones will become mainstream. Currently, easily accessible karmic scripture decoding includes predicting high-risk groups for prostate cancer using about 10 DNA mutations and predicting high-risk groups for dementia (showing more than 30 times difference in incidence in those over 60 years old).

If decoding karmic scripture allows individuals to understand their vulnerabilities and find ways to avoid diseases, we will gain the wisdom of practitioners who, through the power of science, dissolve heavy karmic obstacles and prepare for diligent practice.
