Within the vastness of Buddhist scriptures, most of what she had recited, she had now forgotten. At this very moment, her mind suddenly flashed back to words from the Sutra of Retribution. Jealousy begets humiliation.
Her practice of Buddhism was merely a path she sought to attain fame and fortune quickly. Now, she had no choice but to believe that karma existed in this world.
Was she destined to go to Hell?
Would she be reincarnated as an animal in her next life?
No. The very thought of that possibility filled her with endless despair.
She was innocent; she had done nothing wrong. These were all lies. How could karma exist in this world? She was Charlotte Aria, the proudest mistress of the Aria family.
She was the Goddess of Destiny; all people had to submit at her feet.
Just a thought can separate good from evil. In the end, her heart was consumed by greed, plunging her into endless darkness.
Sinking, falling into the boundless torture.
