Karma Research Foreword:

I started this scientific research in 1970. I initially started this research by analyzing 48 men who killed pigs and bulls. They were the first group of men who became subjects of my experiments. From the first group of 48 men, many had already died by 1980. They died very painfully, and my team and I were able to come to a conclusion. The conclusion was that those who harm living beings and those who kill living beings become subjects of the very same things they did to others previously. By 1990, all 48 men in the first group were already dead. In our scientific research, we used social science methods for conducting experiments. Specifically, we used observation as a tool for our experiments. We went to the places where those 48 men lived and saw for ourselves how they harmed or killed living beings. It was very clear to us from our scientific experiments that those 48 men had karma results in their present lives. We witnessed how they lived in pain and died in pain when the results of their actions came back to them. I can provide an example here. In the first group of 48 men, one man killed bulls by attacking the bull's head using a hammer. One night, a thief entered his house and attacked him using a hammer. His head had been burst open due to the hammer attack. Not only the men who harmed or killed bulls and pigs, but we also conducted experiments on other people who harmed or killed other living beings such as dogs, cats, iguanas, and elephants. We saw how they died in pain due to their own sinful karma results. According to the words of Buddha, rather than killing an animal, one does a highly sinful karma if they kill a human being. In the years 1987 and 1988, many human beings were killed in Sri Lanka due to riots and terrorist attacks. My team and I have presented many case studies here. However, we haven't included all the case studies of our first group of 48 men because all of them are somewhat similar. Therefore, we have included other case studies that are different. Almost all our cases are prospective analysis cases, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur. However, a few cases are retrospective analysis cases, meaning an examination of incidents and events after they have occurred. In retrospective analysis cases, we used interviews to collect information as we did not have direct access to observe and collect data. Also, we mention that we maintained a high priority on protecting the privacy of the individuals. I especially thank the following persons: the late music teacher P. K. Tilakaratne, who traveled with me everywhere in Sri Lanka for my experiments. If I did not have such a friend as my research assistant, I would never have been able to do this scientific research on Karma. I was very fortunate to have him as my research assistant. His death is a great sorrow for me. I also want to mention two other friends of mine: the late Mr. Wilbert Samarasinghe and the late Mr. Dharmasiri De Soysa. They both helped me in conducting my research in the southern areas of Sri Lanka. I also thank my students and researchers at the Sarvodaya Research Center who helped me when I needed their assistance.

 

 

 

The Discussion:

 

Karma Research by Professor and Scientist Nandasena Ratnapala. (University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka)

 

(Year 1976)

 

It is mentioned in Buddhism that there is a karma type that brings results in this present lifetime. According to social science, I have been looking for the validity of this for some time. It is too early to come to a conclusion. But I believe my research will help us understand this strange phenomenon known as the karma energy.

 

According to Buddhism, there are some karmas that give their results in this present life. Based on this, I was able to come to a presumption. The presumption was that if someone continuously does the same type of karma, it will affect them very decisively at a certain point in their life. Let's make this easy to understand. If someone lived their life killing animals often, it should affect them at a certain point in their life. If someone often commits dangerous, sinful, criminal acts, they will someday face the results of what they did.

 

I had many reasons to come to this presumption. Sayings in society such as, "Someone attacked his father and his hand got crippled," "someone broke the leg of an animal and his leg got crippled," and "there was a man who always blamed others using bad words and he developed cancer in his mouth," led me to this presumption. When I studied Buddhist scriptures, my presumption was confirmed. There are many incidents in Buddhist scriptures showing karma giving results in this present life.

 

In general, karma is a large field that is suitable for scientific research. I made this research focus on a small part of the karma field, specifically 'the karma that gives its effect in this present life,' due to the ease of research. To make that small area even smaller, I made the following presumptions. If someone does some action as a hobby or a way of living, sacrificing a lot of time for that action, I took that as my karma research field. Then I came to a presumption that they need to face results according to that action at a certain time in their life. By a certain time, I mean a decisive time, an important event in their life. For example, I can say marriage, death, or something similarly important.

 

To prove these presumptions, it is hard to find evidence from a laboratory. Because I use human beings for my scientific research, I cannot control and make them behave as I want. Also, when I find someone doing some karma often, to get evidence from their life, I had to wait a long time until a decisive time comes. For example, for a butcher who kills bulls often, I had to wait a very long time to know how karma gave its effect at a decisive time such as in his death.

 

There were various obstacles for me. First, I argued like this: is there any possibility that a butcher who kills bulls every day will die exactly as he harmed and killed bulls? In this, we can remember an ancient man named Chundasukarika and his death mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. He was a pig killer and he died in pain for seven days, just exactly similar to a pig. If a butcher who kills bulls then dies behaving like a bull or similarly to how he killed bulls, it may be a random fact. But if many butchers who killed bulls are observed and all of them died in pain just exactly similar to a bull, is it not a fact or evidence that proves the karma that gives its effect in this present life?

 

I had two methods to do my scientific research. The EX POST FACTO method, which means observing after an incident has already happened, was one such method. For example, a man who was a cattle killer died exactly behaving in pain as a bull. As I see his death, I go to his life and history based on how his death happened. Getting scientific evidence from the history of his life, I see he killed cattle, which was his karma. He is not one who killed one or two bulls, but in his life, as a method of living, he had killed a lot of bulls. I made a scientific method: seeing the effect and then following someone's history and past karmas. I gathered information according to that.

 

My second method was that I see a man with my own eyes who is alive and does some kind of similar karmas every day. If I see a man who often harms and kills animals, I keep him in my sight. And I investigate how his marriage was, how his children are, will he become sick, how will he die. It is now 1976. I have been investigating 23 men who kill bulls as a way of living. Their religion is not Buddhism. From these 23 men, 11 men have already died within the past 5 years. Those 11 men died in extreme pain exactly as they harmed and killed bulls. They died after living in pain exactly similar to how they harmed bulls, and their death was similar to the death of a bull.

 

I am still collecting data by using the above-mentioned two methods. When doing it according to social science, we need to check again and again for the confirmation of the accuracy of data. Firstly, to understand one's karma was such, I need to know that he had done that every day again and again. Secondly, I need the proof that he got results of his karmas in a decisive event in his life. I must be able to prove that someone's habit of killing animals gave him a similar fate and he died like he killed animals. If I show you an example: the person named "A" killed pigs all of his life. And I must be able to say according to the evidence: The person named "A" behaved many days in pain similar to a pig, he screamed like a pig, and he died like a pig.

 

I would like to describe my main presumption here. If someone practices and develops some kind of karma all his life, that karma may give its results in this current life. I took animal killing or criminal actions which are sinful karmas because of their ease and we can see results related to sinful karmas with mercy than with meritorious karma results, and we can see grossly the results of sinful karmas with our own eyes. What karma one does more and more in life, its effect will come at a decisive moment of life. In such a case, when a man is in pain, we can gather scientific evidence for the existence of karma energy.

 

For proving my presumptions, I collected information about 48 men whose job was killing bulls. From those 48 men, 25 men are already dead. The 25 who died received extreme mental and physical pains. Their death was very painful. I myself saw the man who cut and ate the tongue of bulls die like a bull whose tongue was pulled out. And this information was not limited to just one case or one person. From the other 23, there are only 12 alive right now. Also, 11 others of sinful men died very painfully after receiving extreme mental and physical pains. One thing highlights in every case as: if they harmed or killed any bull, they themselves received that pain later in their lives.

 

Here I have said in brief something that I should tell in detail. Because my scientific research is ongoing, if someone asks me if I have come to a conclusion, all I can say to them is I still cannot come to a conclusion because I am still doing my scientific research. It is now the year 1976. I started the scientific research in the karma field in 1970. You may ask me, "Can't these all be random cases?" If only one or two cases happened, they could be random cases. But all cases happened in the previously mentioned manner. Then I ask you, how can all of them be random cases? And you may also ask me, "Can it be the case that the mentality of these people affected their death?" I mentioned previously these people are not Buddhists. They do not think killing animals is a sinful action. They do not know about karma energy. You may also ask me, "Maybe they died like that because they closely associated with animals." But then I ask you a counter question: why then do those who are kind and merciful to animals not come into such painful experiences?

 

I have seen and heard things that give light to this scientific research. Criminals who kill others die the same way they killed others. Those who did not care for their parents are in return harassed by their own children. Those who give poison to others also die by poisoning. Those who disrespect others get disrespected in return. It is possible to see these things in society. They give important information for social science.

Karma Research by Professor and Scientist Nandasena Ratnapala. (University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka)

 

Only selected Karma Experiment Cases of Scientist Nandasena Ratnapala. Not included all Karma Experiment Cases in this book.

 

Experiment objectives: To verify the accuracy of the Buddha's words. To check whether the Buddha spoke the truth or false. To check the existence of karma energy.

 

Included KE cases in this book: 35

 

All of these people did not have a normal peaceful death. Their death was unfortunate and very painful.

 

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 1:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a man who was 40 years old. For the past 10 years, he had been killing cattle. He killed bulls according to his religion's views. After we met him, he lived for only two more years and then died. This is the case about him. He had a small family and lived in a small house. There were bulls that were brought to be killed in his garden around the house. In general, those bulls would scream if he went near them. In the morning, he would generally kill about 10 bulls at the slaughterhouse. He preferred killing cows more than killing bulls. Sometimes, when he killed pregnant cows, he would eat the meat of both the cow and the calf. His wife would cook it, and he would eat that meat with his children. When he met cows, he would fondle them for a moment, then say some words, and immediately cut the cow's neck. At those times, his helpers had bound the cow to a pole. When he cut the neck of the bull or cow, blood would ooze out. Then the bull or cow would become weak, and his helpers would stab the bull or cow to death.

 

This man's wife had become pregnant three times, but all three pregnancies were unsuccessful. When his wife became pregnant for a fourth time, the pregnancy was successful, but she gave birth to a child who was very sick. The child had an incurable illness, and no treatment could heal the child. Once, a group of men came to him. They were a group of Buddhist men who wanted to save a bull from death for the full moon Buddhist holiday. The Buddhist men had said that they wanted to gain good karma by saving one bull from death. Sometimes, these saved bulls or cows, when given to farmers to keep, would be sold later back to the butcher due to financial problems. Once, he had brought to his house a cow and calf that were wandering on the road. He then killed the calf. The cow screamed, and he then killed the cow as well.

 

After some time, this butcher became very sick. A part of his body became paralyzed. He moaned due to sorrow. The doctor who visited his house said he had paralysis. The doctor did treatments inside his house but couldn't heal him. So, the butcher's wife brought him to the hospital. The doctors in the hospital said a nerve in his brain had burst. The doctors in the hospital performed surgery. Then he came back home. After several days, another sickness came to him. There became a wound in his throat area. The wound spilled blood. When he came to the hospital, doctors said it was cancer. Blood often came from the wound in the throat area. While he had this sickness, another sickness came, and boils appeared on his whole body. Doctors said the cancer was spreading all over his body. He lived painfully. After one month, he died in extreme pain.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 2:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher who preferred killing water buffaloes. He became extremely happy when he could kill a water buffalo. When he found poor farmers, he bought water buffaloes from them. This butcher also loved to eat water buffalo meat. He was a merciless man and once even killed a female water buffalo that had given him milk for some time. There are many bulls and water buffaloes in the house's garden, bound to poles. Later, there was one water buffalo he could not tame. That water buffalo tried to stab him with its horns. Eventually, he managed to bind the water buffalo to a pole very tightly. Thereafter, he poked the water buffalo with a hot iron rod. The water buffalo cried loudly, and this only gave the butcher great happiness. He then prepared a hot pan filled with hot embers and put it under the genitals of the water buffalo as punishment. However, the strong water buffalo somehow broke free from the pole and chased the butcher away. The butcher ran to save his life. But at the moment when the butcher entered his house, the water buffalo attacked him. The water buffalo's horns first pierced his buttock. Then he fell down, and the water buffalo continuously gored him many times. Some other people took the butcher to the hospital, but the injuries were serious, and he died soon after.

Pig Farmer Karma Case 3:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He had a pig farm. It was his profession. He bought pigs when they were very little. He gave them discarded foods from the city's hotels. Because these foods were discarded, he did not need to pay any money for the foods. Growing pigs and, after some time when they were grown, killing those pigs and selling them was his business. Once he bought a little female pig. Just like a loyal dog who follows the master, this little female pig loved him and followed him often. This female pig lived as a pig until it grew. This man showed a special interest in this female pig. After some time, this female pig gave birth to a lot of little piglets. The female pig often gave birth to a lot of piglets and because of that, this man did not need to buy little pigs anymore. He killed a lot of pigs and sold pig meat for Christmas to a lot of people who celebrate Christmas. This man bought several other female pigs and they too gave birth to a lot of piglets. Therefore, his pig farm grew very well and his pig farm became a profitable business.

 

Generally, he sold his pig meat to a big company located in the city. When buyers from that company came, he killed pigs. He put each pig inside a bag and attacked those pigs using sticks. That is how he generally killed pigs. However, sometimes he took the help of two dogs to kill pigs. Sometimes, if a pig ran away from him when he tried to kill a certain pig, his dogs attacked that pig and held that pig without letting it run inside the farm. Then this man stabbed the pig with a knife until the pig died. When pigs screamed and cried in pain, those who lived near his pig farm knew he was killing pigs. Generally, in a single session, he killed approximately 35 pigs. He did his pig farm business for some time. But after several years, he suddenly became sick. He said, "I feel someone is attacking me with sticks." He was unable to sleep. If he tried to sleep, he soon woke up. It was impossible for him to sleep anyway. He said, "Pigs come and attack me, pigs eat me. I see pigs in dreams." After he became terribly sick, the pig farm was closed and there were no pigs, only the buildings of the pig farm left. He even screamed in the morning. He screamed, becoming afraid of pigs. He said, "Look, these pigs put me inside a bag and attack me! Look, these pigs try to stab me with knives." He screamed loudly due to fear. With each passing day, his sickness only grew. When his bones started to swell, people took him to the hospital. But medicines could not cure his sickness. After some time, doctors said, "His situation is not good. It is not possible to cure this sickness; we have tried our best. Take him back to his house and give him any food he likes to eat." Thereafter, he came back to his farmhouse. Yet he spent his days in extreme pain. His bones swelled and injured, and he cried loudly, just exactly as a pig cries. No one was able to stop his loud screaming. He was a bachelor and did not have a wife. So people who lived near his pig farm visited him from time to time. Once, one of his cousins came to stay with him, knowing that he would die soon and to get the ownership of the farm's buildings. That cousin gave him food. He lived in extreme pain for several months. In his last days, he often shouted and screamed very loudly due to the unbearable pain. His painful sounds were exactly similar to the sounds pigs make.

 

 

 

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 4:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a strange butcher. He would buy a cow with a calf and bind the calf to a pole. He would bind the calf for several days continuously without giving it food or water. After several days, when he would unbind the calf, the calf would go directly to the mother cow and drink milk. After the calf drank a lot of milk, he would bind the calf again to a pole. After 2 hours, he would kill the calf. He would then remove the calf's stomach. The calf's stomach would be filled with milk. The butcher would then prepare a curry using that milk-filled stomach of the calf. That was his favorite food. Generally, he did this after buying a cow and a calf. When he killed the calf and then went to the mother cow, the mother cow would cry. But he was merciless. After some time, when he had killed hundreds of calves, he developed a stomach ache. When he went to the hospital, doctors told him that he had a boil in his stomach. Doctors performed surgery and removed a boil inside his stomach that was the size of an orange. After the surgery, he came back home and continued killing calves, cows, and bulls just as he did before. After some time, he developed another boil inside his stomach for a second time. This time, doctors analyzed the sickness and said the boil had spread all over his stomach. Doctors also said that performing a surgical operation was useless now. But he insisted that the doctors perform a surgical operation. Then, when doctors performed the surgery, he died. Doctors mentioned that his boil had spread all over the stomach and if he had lived like that, he may have died due to the bursting of the boil.

 

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 5:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He had a cattle farm. It was his profession. Drinking the blood of bulls and killing bulls was his habit. He binds the bull that was brought to be killed onto two poles in his farm, making the bull unable to move. He cuts the bull's throat and collects the oozing blood of the bull in a vessel. He then drinks that raw blood. Sometimes he prepares curries with that blood of the bulls. He said, "It is a great pleasure for me to drink the blood of the bulls." Generally, he kills 8 bulls per day. When he cuts the throat of a bull, sometimes he takes away a lot of blood of that bull until that bull loses consciousness. He does not care about the bull's pain. This is how he ran his cattle farm. Several years passed. This man was diagnosed with blood cancer. Doctors told him that if someone did not give him blood constantly, there was a chance of his death. Therefore, his relatives and friends gave him blood. Meanwhile, he and his relatives prayed to God and did other religious rituals according to his religion. However, no matter what he did, he was unable to cure his sickness. After some time, it was useless even giving blood to him from outside. His body swelled. In the middle of his throat, a blister appeared. It became bigger and bigger slowly. On his body, in various places, his nerves burst. Blood came out from those burst places and his whole body became wet with his own blood. Doctors said, "We are not capable of doing anything in this situation." He was sent home from the hospital when doctors decided they were not capable of doing anything more to cure his sickness. After he came back to his house, he was lying on the bed. Often he made a sound similar to a bull that a bull makes when a bull dies. The blister on his throat was injured without a proper reason. Then pus came out from that injured blister and fell to the ground. His body became extremely stinky, making other people unable to come near him. He lived painfully like this for some time and then died.

 

 

Chicken Slaughterer Karma Case 6:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a man who killed chickens and roosters. He generally killed about 50 or 60 chickens and roosters per day. This chicken slaughterer worked in a marketplace. Customers who came to the marketplace would show him the chicken or rooster they wanted, and he would immediately kill it and sell it. He killed chickens by cutting their necks using a sharp knife. He had done this, killing chickens and roosters, for about 20 years. After some time, he suddenly became sick. The sickness caused him to immediately lose the ability to stand up; his body became somewhat paralyzed, and he was not even able to lift his head. His body became very weak, and he was bedridden. Meanwhile, blisters appeared on his hands and legs. He was taken to the hospital, but the disease was incurable. People brought him back home. He painfully lived, laying on the bed. Furthermore, he started to act like a chicken. He sometimes moved as if he were a chicken flapping its wings and also cried like a chicken. He even told his wife to bring him a pan of chicken poop and keep the pan near his bed. He told his wife that he loved the odor of chicken poop. Meanwhile, his sickness progressed more and more. He was not able to eat or drink. After a very short time, he died in pain while acting like a chicken flapping its wings and also making sounds like a chicken crying.

The Butcher Karma Case 7:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He was a butcher by profession. His father was also a butcher. His father had died in his 40s, and then his son had started his (father's) profession. He loved to torture bulls. He loved to cut the legs of bulls. It was an action that brought happiness to him. He would bind the bull onto two poles and then cut a leg of the bull. Sometimes he would cut two legs of a bull and let the bull lay on the ground. Generally, he killed a lot of bulls. Once he saw a good bull used by a villager in a bullock cart. The butcher went to that man and asked him whether he was interested in selling that bull. The villager said he didn't want to sell this bull. However, the butcher tried to make him agree to sell the bull for some time. After some time, the villager agreed to sell the bull. The butcher bought the bull and brought it to the butcher's place. Then the butcher bound this bull to a pole. With great happiness, he cut a leg of that bull using a big knife. The bull fell to the ground screaming loudly. The bull lived for the next day, and he cut another leg of that bull the next day. After these things, the bull died, and the butcher produced beef from this bull's meat. After 3 weeks since this incident took place, a blister appeared on the right leg's knee of the butcher. And that blister became bigger and bigger. He went to a hospital, and doctors cut the blister and applied medicines to the injury. He came back and lived for some time without any problem. However, after some time, several blisters appeared again on the left leg's knee. But this time it was several blisters, and they became bigger and bigger. Also, this time blisters grew up towards his thighs, and blisters got injured. The blisters and wounds developed until the hip joints. When he went to the hospital, the doctors decided to cut off his left leg. The doctors said he also had diabetes and they should cut his leg as soon as possible. The doctors cut the leg. He came back home. But after some time, his other leg also became like the left leg with blisters and wounds. Then doctors cut his right leg too. Now without his both legs, he became legless and had to move with the help of others. His wife also had to suffer because of his condition. Even while all this was happening, his cattle farm sent him meat every day, and he always ate that meat with great happiness. His wife cooked that meat every day. His wife helped him to move here and there because he had no legs now. He lived like this for some time. And after some time, once again a blister appeared on his hip. People immediately brought him to the hospital. Doctors checked him and said it was spreading inside his body. The blister became larger and larger. Then it got wounded and pus came out. There was a lot of bad smell, and he lived moaning. His wife helped him while tolerating the bad smell. The butcher lived like this for several months and died in pain.

 

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 8:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He had a cattle farm. He was a butcher. It was his profession. He killed many bulls for many years. After some time, his 40th birthday approached. He planned to perform a religious ritual according to his religion by killing a cow that gives milk. However, one problem arose: it is hard to buy a cow that gives milk, because many people do not sell such cows. He went to several villages in Sri Lanka searching for a cow that gives milk to buy and perform his religious ritual by killing that cow. In one village, he met a man who had a cow that gives milk. For that cow, the villager had built a separate place. The butcher told the villager, "I am interested in buying your cow." But knowing this man was a butcher, the villager had refused the butcher's request several times. However, the butcher did not give up. He said, "I will give you three times more money for this cow. I will not kill this cow. Give me this cow that gives milk." The villager was a kind man who treated the cow as one of his own family members. However, the villager's wife had said, "We can never have such a large amount of money. Let's sell this cow. If we want a cow for milk, we can buy another cow later." Due to the wife's insistence, the villager man finally agreed to sell the cow that gives milk. However, even at the last moment, he had said, "Please do not kill my cow." The butcher had replied, "I paid a lot of money to you for this cow because I need milk for my children. Therefore, I will not kill this cow." When the butcher bought that cow and brought it to his farm, he found out that there was a calf in the womb of the cow. The birthday arrived. In the morning, he went to the cow and attacked its head with a hammer. The cow, being unable to bear the extreme pain, had fallen to the ground. Then he had cut its throat. Then he prepared the cow's meat and even took out the calf from the womb of the cow and had cut the calf into pieces. Then he gave meat to the people who lived near his cattle farm. After breakfast, he went to a religious place by car to pray to God and do the rituals according to his religion by offering the cow's meat. However, on the road, his car met with a dangerous accident and his car went off the road and his head collided with a tree. People brought him to the hospital with an injured head while bleeding. After a short time, he died. At that time, the meat he ate in the morning by killing that cow had not yet even digested.

 

 

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 9:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He is a butcher. He had a cattle farm. It is his profession. Normally, he kills about 9 bulls per day. Once he brought a big bull to kill. This bull had large horns. Since the time he brought this bull to his cattle farm, the behavior of this bull changed and the bull was extremely angry. It sometimes moved around restlessly and blew air from its nose. On other days, other bulls never acted like this and when this butcher approached other bulls, other bulls immediately became calm. However, this bull did not act like that and this man had attacked that bull two times. After that this bull had become even more aggressive. With the help of others, the butcher had tightly bound the bull to a pole. Then he had stabbed the bull one time using a knife. Then the bull, with oozing blood, had jumped forward by breaking the pole and chased the butcher. The butcher ran around the yard of the cattle farm. His helpers ran away. The butcher took a shaft and hit the bull. But the bull jumped onto him when he hit the bull. He had screamed loudly but helpers were not able to help because the bull chased away all the helpers if they came to help. The bull chased the butcher again and near a wall gored him with its horns continuously. The butcher fell down and then the bull continuously gored him again. A lot of blood flowed. If at any time any helper tried to help the butcher, the bull always chased them away not letting them help the butcher who was oozing blood. And after continuously goring him with its horns again and again, the bull also fell down because the bull also was injured previously by the butcher with knives. The butcher died painfully due to the wounds at that place. The bull also died after a while.

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 10:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He was a butcher. He killed bulls. His wife became pregnant. He thought that if the delivery of the child happened without any problems, he would worship and pray to the god by offering a bull. Later, the child's birth happened just as he wished. So he bought a big bull and killed it in the farm's garden, then offered the dead bull to the god. He believed his action was a good deed that would bring fortune to the newborn child. After some time, his wife became pregnant again for a second time. This time, he also performed his ritual. For the second time, he bought a cow for his ritual. He killed the cow in the middle of the garden and offered it to the god. He also cooked its meat and offered the meat of this cow to some other people too. By now, he had killed hundreds of bulls. When bulls saw him, they screamed loudly.

 

After some time, his wife became pregnant for a third time. This butcher once again thought to perform an offering and praying ritual for the god, just like in the previous times, and bought a cow. He bound the cow to a pole in the garden. But this time, even before the child's delivery, the pregnant wife died. However, with great effort, they were able to save the baby. After this incident, he married another woman. His second wife also died during childbirth, and at that time, he had bought a cow to offer and pray to the god. When his second wife died, he killed that cow in extreme hatred. After some time, he married another woman for a third time. After some time, his third wife gave him a child.

 

In those days, his eldest son died by drowning in the water. That son went to the river for swimming and died there by drowning. After some time, his second son, who was very young, one day played with his mother's saree by wrapping it around his neck and tying its end to the girder of the house. He was on a chair with the saree wrapped around him, and the chair immediately rolled, strangling his neck. His second son died this way, very unfortunately. His third little son died from a strange, incurable sickness. In the throat of that little son, a boil appeared. He went to the hospital and met many doctors, but nothing worked. No medicine or anything could cure that strange sickness.

 

After some time, he developed a mental illness. He moved like an animal walking on its four legs. He also acted strangely by blowing air just like a bull and jumping towards others just like a bull trying to gore a person with its horns. Often when he did that, people would move away from him, but sometimes people attacked him. He became insane and behaved exactly like a bull. He even urinated or went to the toilet just like a bull. For his relatives, his behavior was an irritating trouble. After some time, many wounds appeared on his body. He was sent to the hospital by his relatives. He died painfully there. And his body was buried with the help of the Sri Lankan government because no one came to claim his dead body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 11:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He was a butcher. He had a special way of killing bulls. That was by binding a bull to a pole very tightly so it couldn't move and then immediately attacking the bull's head with a sledgehammer. In this method, often the bull's head would crack and parts of the bull's brain would burst into the air. Sometimes the bull would become unconscious, and then he would cut the throat of the bull with a knife. Generally, for any bull, one attack from his sledgehammer was enough. He would attack a bull with all his might, and this action gave him great happiness. One day, he brought a cow to his cattle farm and killed the cow just as he would kill any other bull. That same night, a thief entered the house of the butcher, and he was afraid upon seeing the thief. The butcher took a shaft into his hand to attack the thief. Then the thief took into his hand the sledgehammer which was nearby. The thief attacked the butcher's head with the sledgehammer, and his head cracked, and parts of his brain burst into the air. That attack from the thief killed him that night. After some time, villagers said that he had been reborn as a painful ghost near the village's banyan tree. Villagers further informed that the ghost screams painfully and there is a sledgehammer in his hand. The ghost became famous among the villagers by the name "the sledgehammer demon".

 

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 12:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated one butcher who had an abnormal interest. He loved to eat the tongues of bulls that he had killed. He would come home with the cut tongues of bulls and prepare a curry with condiments using the cut tongues of bulls. Sometimes he would fry the tongues of bulls using oil. He never liked to have his meals without the meat of a bull's tongue. One day, he brought a well-built bull and bound it to a pole so that the bull could not move. He then opened the mouth of the bull and cut the tongue of the bull. This butcher was very clever at cutting the tongues of bulls, and the bulls generally had no idea what was going to happen. The butcher went to his home with the cut bull's tongue. He then prepared a curry by mixing salt and condiments. When he went the next day to that same bull, the bull was alive and laying in pain, opening its mouth. The butcher killed the bull by stabbing it until it died, using a knife. Several years passed as usual. After some time, one day, a small blister appeared at the end of his own tongue. That small blister developed into a large blister day by day. The blister became a problem when eating meals, and then he went to the hospital. Doctors gave him various medicines. He used the medicines but could not cure the blister that had appeared at the end of his tongue. Therefore, after some time, he had to undergo a surgical operation. At the surgery, a part of his own tongue was cut off and removed. After he came back home, he was not able to talk properly. But still, he could not cure his sickness, and after some time, he faced another surgery for the second time. But even the second surgical operation could not cure him. He lived in the hospital in great pain. After a short time, he came back home still having his weird sickness. Because of this abnormal sickness, his body became very thin. His teeth also fell out. His hair and body hair also started falling out. He was unable to eat, and another person had to give him food using a tube. Hence, for this purpose, a trained hospital attendant was brought. For several months, he lived in great pain like this. There was a large blister on his tongue. After some time, worms appeared in his blister and its wounds. He was in extreme pain and distress. After some more time, many blisters appeared on various parts of his body and they festered. Only liquid foods could be given to him using a narrow plastic tube through his nose. The nasal tube feeding method was used. He could only sleep for a very short time. If he slept, then after a short time, he would wake up screaming loudly. He said, "I see bulls and cows chasing me to attack me." He lived like this for several more months and died in pain.

 

 

The Government Farm Karma Case 13:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a farm owned by the government of Sri Lanka. There were both vegetables and livestock. There was a large number of pigs. They brought small pigs and sold them when they became grown pigs. The small pigs that were brought in January were sold in December for Christmas, and it gave a lot of profit to the farm. The highest income for the farm came from the pigs and pork meat. The food for the pigs was brought from the city's hotels. The food for the pigs was discarded food from hotels. Once, on this farm, a man who was employed to kill the pigs went missing. He killed pigs by using sticks and knives. When this man went missing, his body was found in the nearest forest. It was discovered that murderers had attacked him by using sticks and then had stabbed him by using knives near the ear.

 

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 14:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He is a cattle killer. A butcher. One day, his pregnant wife had a strange desire. The strange desire was to eat a leg of a bull while the bull was still alive. The pregnant wife was about to deliver their first child. Therefore, the butcher decided to make his wife's wish a reality. He brought a good bull to his house and bound the bull to a pole with a rope. After that, he cut off a leg of the bull. The bull was screaming, oozing blood, and fell to the ground, unable to stand still. Then he and his wife cooked a meal using the meat of the bull who was still alive. The bull lived for two more days without a leg, screaming loudly due to the pain. He cut another leg of the same bull on the second day. The bull was screaming loudly due to pain. Thereafter, he cut the neck of the bull and killed it. And he sold the meat of this bull.

 

However, after one month, the wife of the butcher fell to the ground in their home's garden. She was taken to the hospital by the butcher. One of her bones was broken. She was treated in the hospital for some time. Later, she came back home. Even though she came back home, she was unable to get up and work and was confined to bed because of infirmity. She was bedridden.

 

After this incident, for some time, the butcher worked as usual. The butcher collected cows and bulls roaming in various villages. After some time, one day, he was walking inside a forest area, and there was a gun trap set by some other people for killing pigs. The gun trap was triggered by him, and a bullet hit one of his legs. People took him to the hospital. In the hospital, the doctors amputated his leg. He came back home with the help of crutches. But he did not stop killing bulls, and he continued killing bulls and cows.

 

Some time passed. He became sick. A blister appeared on the other leg of the butcher. He tried both Ayurvedic medicines and Western medicines, but nothing could cure the blister. The small blister developed into a large blister and caused a lot of pain to the butcher. And eventually, the sickness of his other leg became critical. Also, during these days, his wife, who was sick and bedridden due to a broken bone, died. After a short time, the sick butcher also died painfully. His relatives and neighbors who were with him at the time of his death reported that he died making sounds like a bull. He had bellowed just as a cow or bull does.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 15:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

It had been 10 years since he became the main butcher in the city's meat shop and livestock farm. For 10 years, he had been killing bulls by cutting their throats. His daily routine included coming to the cattle farm every day at 10 AM. When he arrived at 10 AM, the others who worked at the cattle farm had already tied up the bulls, making them unable to move. The butcher then killed each and every bull using knives. For some stubborn bulls, he even attacked them using sticks. Generally, when bulls saw him with a knife, tears would come from their eyes.

 

After 10 years of continuously killing bulls as a butcher, he developed a sickness in his throat. He was unable to swallow anything. Therefore, he went to the hospital. Doctors treated him for some time, but doctors in the local hospital could not cure him. Thereafter, due to their inability to cure his sickness, regional doctors sent him to the Apeksha Hospital, The National Cancer Institute of Sri Lanka, to check whether he had cancer or some other sickness. Apeksha Hospital, The National Cancer Institute of Sri Lanka, diagnosed him and decided that the sickness was cancer. They used radiation therapy and various other treatments for him. He was a little relieved by them. Then he came back home. And he went to the cattle farm to kill bulls. Again the cancer widely developed and his sickness became critical. The doctors said it was extremely necessary to do surgery for him. And doctors did surgery and removed cancer-infected parts. However, the doctors said they were unable to remove all parts cancer had spread to. He was relieved a bit once again and he came back home. After several months, once again his throat became wounded. His throat became a large boil and became an abscess. His throat became very stinky. The people who brought him food also became disgusted with him. The butcher could always be seen screaming in pain. A person was hired by paying him money to bring food to the butcher. Even that medical attendant became disgusted with the butcher. The butcher was bedridden for 3 months. He sounded like a bull sounds. This butcher died in pain.

 

 

The Iguana Hunter Karma Case 16:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a strong young man who was a hunter. He was an iguana hunter. It was his hobby to kill iguanas. He also loved to eat iguana meat. He first captured iguanas alive and then killed them by using a spike that was used to peel coconuts. He inserted the spike into the buttock of the iguana to kill the iguana. Sometimes when he killed 2 or 3 iguanas, he even sold iguana meat. Some villagers even informed him if they found any iguanas in their gardens. In his area, he had the nickname "the iguana boy". He was a well-known person in the area where he lived. He lived by killing iguanas. Once he climbed a tree to capture an iguana. The iguana quickly climbed to the top of the tree. While he was chasing the iguana on the tree, he fell from the tree. He fell onto a nearby chopped down tree that had a spike-like trunk due to being cut by people. This hunter fell on that wooden spike and the spike entered his body, piercing his buttock. People took him to the nearby hospital. But the injury caused by the spike was serious and the hunter screamed loudly due to pain. After a few days, the hunter died in pain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 17:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated one butcher who had an abnormal interest in doing cruel things. His interest was to pluck out the eyes of live bulls and cows. He felt great satisfaction when a bull or cow moaned in pain as he plucked out their eyes. This man would then bring home the plucked-out eyes of bulls and make his wife prepare food by frying them. It was his favorite food. He loved the glistening eyes of bulls. However, it should be noted that his wife did not like eating the eyes of bulls and she did not eat them. He also told his children, "Eating the eyes of bulls is healthy." The butcher gave the eyes of bulls to his children. So his children also ate the eyes of bulls and cows, just like their father did. The butcher did these actions continuously for some time. Time passed. After some time, a muscle growth appeared in one of his eyes. He underwent medical treatments, but the muscles in his eye only grew day by day. When the muscle growth in the eye became much bigger, he went to the hospital. Then, due to medicines, the muscle growth in the eye began to shrink. But within a short time, another muscle growth appeared in his other eye. Now both of his eyes were sick. After some time, both of his eyes became wounded. The butcher's eyes became rotted and subject to decomposition. Doctors decided that he needed to have both of his eyes removed by surgery. The doctors performed a surgical operation, removed both of his eyes, and put fake eyes in the eye sockets. But after a short time, two small blisters appeared in the places where the doctors had removed the eyes. With time, both blisters became larger and larger. After some time, the blisters became wounded and turned into very disgusting injuries. These days, he spent his days in extreme pain and moaning loudly due to the pain. His screaming could be heard from a long distance. Very loudly he was screaming. Pus came out from the two wounded large blisters and the pus was very stinky. No one in the family went near him due to the disgust. His wife and children went to the wife's parents' house. The butcher lived for several more months and died in pain.

 

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 18:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

He is a cattle killer. A butcher. He generally kills bulls, but he prefers killing cows. He also loves to kill pregnant cows more than non-pregnant cows. He kills pregnant cows and then takes out the calf from the womb of the dead cow and prepares curries using the meat of the calf. This is how he lives. After some time, his own wife became pregnant, and at the time of her child delivery, his baby died. He was so sad because of this. He informed us that he doesn't drink liquor. His favorite food was the meat of calves that he himself kills. After some time, his wife became pregnant again for a second time. This time, he brought his wife to a clever doctor who was a gynecologist specialist for the child delivery of his pregnant wife. However, both his wife and child died during the process of childbirth. With this incident, our butcher became very angry with cows, and he was willing to pay any amount of money for a pregnant cow. One day, he got information that there was a pregnant cow that belonged to a wealthy family. He went to see that pregnant cow. People said that there were two calves in the womb of this cow. The wealthy family refused to sell this cow to the butcher. However, the butcher wanted to eat the meat of the calves inside the womb of this pregnant cow by any means. Therefore, the butcher went to meet a master thief. The butcher had told the thief that if he stole the cow from that wealthy family, the butcher was willing to pay a lot of money to the thief. But the thief told the butcher that he was unable to steal the cow from that family. The butcher came back home and decided to do it himself. He went to another thief and bought a key that could open the lock of the gate of the wealthy family. The keys the thief had could open any lock. After several days, in the middle of the night, he went to the house of that wealthy family. He opened the gate and went to the cow. He then stole the cow and came forward towards the gate. At that time, a dog barked, and people in the house awoke. He saw a door open. With the opening of the door, someone immediately shot his leg with a gun. The butcher ran away, abandoning the cow. After that, he went to the hospital, and doctors decided that they had to cut and remove the leg of the butcher. The doctors did cut his leg, and after that, he came back home. The butcher could move only by using crutches. He lived like this for some time. One day, he got a severe stomach ache. When he went to the hospital, doctors checked him and said there was a large boil inside his stomach. He was given medicines by doctors, but the sickness was incurable. Because medicines could not cure his large boil, the doctors decided to cut the boil in a surgical operation. After the surgery, he lived well for only several days. Another stomach ache developed. He was unable to eat anything. He was also unable to drink anything. He went to the hospital. Once again, doctors tried to heal him, but the boil only grew day by day. The butcher wanted to do a surgery for the second time, but the doctors advised him that his body was too weak for a second surgery and further advised him to wait until his body became a little stronger. With time, the stomach boil grew so large that it was visible from the outside that the boil, which was inside the body, had a lot of pus. The butcher lived in these days moaning loudly. He came back home once again, and within a few days, the stomach boil burst. He lived only several more days after the boil's burst and lived his final days in extreme pain. He died within a short time.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 19:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher who, while killing grown bulls, also loved to kill young calves. He did this for many years. He loved to eat the meat of young calves. He would go to villages and buy bulls and young calves. Then he would bring them to his farmhouse and bind them to poles. In his farmhouse, he loved to torture bulls and young calves. When a calf screamed due to fear when he separated it from its mother cow, the butcher would attack the calf. The butcher showed no mercy. One day, he had brought two small calves and a mother cow to his farmhouse. He kept them for some time without giving them food. After that, he burned the two small calves alive and prepared curries using the meat of those young calves. On that very same day, the following incident took place. In his house, a kerosene lamp fell down and the butcher's young child was burned and died. The butcher took his child to the nearest hospital, but it was too late. It is worth noting that this happened on the same day he burned the two small calves. He burned the two small calves in the morning, and this incident happened at night inside the kitchen of the butcher. After this incident, time passed and everything went as usual. After one year, in the next year, the butcher's wife delivered a child. That child's whole skin was extremely dark black, just like he had burned his skin. The butcher tried various treatments on the newborn child due to his love for his own child, but none worked. And after several weeks, that child died by convulsion. After some time, the wife delivered the butcher's third child. There was a strange phenomenon with him: his both legs were like those of a young calf. The butcher was in shock and mental pain due to this. And that third child only lived for several days and instantly died without any proper reason. After this, the butcher and his wife were childless, and the couple could not bear or give birth to any child. Time passed, and the butcher brought a child from one of his relative's families into his home. The butcher seemed to love this child very much. When this child grew up for some time, the butcher taught the child how to hit a cow using a cane. Thereafter, that child also hit bulls, cows, and young calves using a cane for fun. After some more time, the butcher had taught this child how to kill a calf. Thereafter, by cutting the throat of a small calf, the child also killed calves. For several years, we did not see any notable incident in the butcher's life. However, after several years, his relative child went missing from his house. The boy vanished, and the butcher tried to find him. But the butcher could not find his relative boy. After one week, the dead body of the cousin boy was found in a nearby forest. The body was identified as having been bitten by foxes. Specifically, the throat and neck of the boy had been bitten by the foxes. The fact that the butcher's boy's throat and neck had been bitten by foxes was valuable evidence for our karma research. Because the boy had been killing small calves by cutting the throat or neck of small calves. The butcher said there were no enemies for him and his cousin boy to kill his cousin boy inside the forest. It was not possible to uncover the reason for the death in the examination done by the government officials in the autopsy. And also, after several months, wounds appeared in various places on the butcher's body, making him extremely sick, and he died in pain.

 

 

The Religious Place Karma Case 20:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a man who worked in a religious place, a fane belonging to Hinduism. They were doing animal sacrifices for the almighty Brahma creator. There was this man for killing goats. This man would cut the neck of goats after saying some religious words. When various people gave goats to the fane, he would bind goats to a pole and do sacrifices to the almighty Brahma creator by cutting the neck of goats. Once a female goat escaped from him. He ran to catch the female goat. After he captured the female goat, he stabbed the female goat's both eyes with a sharp knife. Blood came out from both eyes of the female goat. Thereafter he killed the female goat. After some time, his eyesight became weak. He went to the hospital. The doctors said that in his both eyes there was some muscle growth happening. This man took medical treatments. But the eye sickness only grew with time. He went again to the hospital and doctors said his both eyes were in bad condition and it was necessary to remove his both eyes. Thereafter doctors removed his both eyes. He came back home without both eyes. After this incident, even though blind, he killed goats in the fane with the help of helpers. Helpers would guide his hands closer to the tightly bound goat's neck and he would cut the neck of the goat. Once when he was walking in the garden without eyes, a thorn pricked into one of his legs. His leg was injured. And with time the wound became bigger and bigger despite medical treatments. He again went to the hospital and doctors decided it was necessary to cut his leg to save his life. Doctors did a surgery and removed one leg of him. He came back home. Now he was blind and also without a leg. Yet he went to the Hindu fane to kill goats. Because helpers helped in doing animal sacrifices to the Almighty Brahma creator, it was not difficult to kill goats even though he was blind and without a leg. He used crutches to walk. After some time, there became a sickness in his throat. Doctors diagnosed it as cancer. This man committed suicide by cutting his own throat using a knife, after hearing that he had cancer.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 21:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher. Once when his wife got pregnant, she had a strange desire. However, she did not tell her husband about it and she became thinner and thinner due to the strong desire. One day, her husband, the butcher, asked her what was wrong. She said that she had a strange desire. When the butcher asked what the desire was, she told him, "I want to cook and eat the first calf of a young cow." The butcher replied that it was possible to do that.

 

The butcher then went to villages to find a young cow that had never given birth to a calf. Later, he found such a cow. He bought that young cow and brought it home. Then he prepared a special place for this cow and gave it food. After several days, he bound another bull near that cow. That was another bull brought to kill. After some time, the cow became pregnant. Then he killed the bull. And after 3 months, he killed the cow and cut the womb of the cow and brought out the small calf. The pregnant wife helped to cook. Then he cooked the meat of that calf and gave the meat to the pregnant wife to eat. The wife then ate the meat.

 

After some time, it was time for the pregnant wife's delivery. Then the butcher and wife both went to a religious place and promised the god to give a small golden statue if the wife's delivery of the baby happened without any trouble. When they were coming home from the religious place, their car collided with a tree and an accident happened. The car immediately got ignited. The driver survived. But the butcher and pregnant wife did not survive and died by burning. With that fire, the child who was inside the womb of the pregnant wife also died.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 22:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher who loved to pour hot water on bulls. He brought bulls to his slaughterhouse and forcibly poured hot water on the bulls. He boiled water in a kettle and then tied the bull to a pole before pouring the hot water into the bull's mouth. The hot water went inside the bull's body via the throat. When he tied a bull to a pole, he did it in a way that the bull could not move. He then pushed the spout of the kettle into the bull's mouth. This action gave the butcher great happiness. He poured one kettle of water on each bull. Once, when he was boiling water in the kettle, the kettle fell and hot water burned his chest and stomach painfully. He went to a hospital and got treatment immediately. But after he came back from the hospital, he returned to his old habit of pouring hot water into the mouths of bulls. Now, he did it with more anger. Once, he poured hot water into the mouth of a bull and excessive water spilled onto the body of the bull. The bull could only scream loudly as it was tied tightly to a pole. After pouring hot water into the mouth of a bull, he would kill the bull. He loved to eat the burned mouth and throat area of a bull. After some time, this butcher got a pain in his own throat. He took medical treatments but was unable to cure it. He then went to a hospital. The doctors in the hospital said there was a boil in his throat area and it needed to be removed by a surgical operation. The doctors performed a surgical operation on the butcher. But the surgical operation could not cure his throat. There was a pain in the throat area that made it hard for him to eat food. Once, he was unable to bear the extreme pain and he himself drank boiling hot water. His mouth and throat were burned by the hot water and he screamed loudly. People took him to the hospital. When treating those wounds, more blisters formed in his throat. The blisters developed down to his stomach internally. He screamed loudly due to pain. The screaming sound of him spread around half a mile. He screamed loudly just exactly as a bull screamed. After one month of his loud screamings, blisters burst and pus came out. Because pus and blood came out from his mouth, no other person liked to even get closer to him. He lived several more days with extreme pain and died loudly screaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cattle Killer Karma Case 23:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

There was a man who was like the leader of cattle thieves. Wherever someone stole a bull, it went to him. Many cattle thieves brought bulls to him. For several days, they would hide the bull inside the forest. Meanwhile, the owners of the bulls would discuss with him using third parties. If discussions with him were successful, the bull owner would receive the bull within 3 days. But such a thing only took place if the owner could pay a lot of money to him. If not, he would kill the bulls inside the forest. This butcher used to kill bulls at first, but now his helpers did the killing. However, he still killed highly grown bulls. He would kill the bulls by striking the bull's head with a rod. The bull would become faint due to the attack. After that, he would stab the bull using knives. He had a habit of cutting a large chunk of meat from near the heart of the bull. However, whether he killed the bulls himself or not, his helpers always sent him a large chunk of meat from near the heart of the bull. When attacking a bull's head using a rod, if the bull's head burst, the helpers needed to prepare a curry using the brain meat of the killed bull. He loved that curry very much. Eating those curries with liquor was one of the favorite things of this group. His beef-selling business gave him good profits. Many people bought meat from him.

 

Once, a villager had a bull. Someone stole this bull and then gave this bull to the butcher. The villager also came to him looking for his bull. But the butcher did not want to sell that grown bull back to the villager. The villager tried to stab the butcher using a knife. The butcher's helpers came and beat the villager. The villager later went to the police, but the butcher was a friend of high-ranking police officers, and no action was taken against the butcher by the police. After this incident, several months later, the butcher got a strange sickness. A blister appeared on his chest. Doctors said it was a rare cancer and it was dangerous to do a surgical operation to heal him. The butcher went home and lived in pain. But still, he loved to kill bulls. After a short time, he died painfully from the aforementioned cancer.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 24:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

One butcher we investigated enjoyed hurting bulls. He kills bulls by attacking the bull's head using a rod. But before that, he tortures them very much. Sometimes when he attacks the head of the bull, the bull faints from just one blow. If not, he attacks the bull several times. Even when he kills the bulls by cutting their necks, he tortures the bull before that. Sometimes he sets nails on a wooden board and then hurts the bull with that wooden board with iron nails. The bulls scream when he does these things. Sometimes he doesn't give food and water to the bulls. He binds the bulls to a pole for several days continuously and does not give them food or water. When these bulls cry loudly, he attacks them without any mercy. Like this, he did killing bulls and cows for several years continuously. Once this butcher fell to the ground in his cattle killing place. Doctors in the hospital said a nerve in his brain had burst. He lived several months in the hospital. Slowly his body became weak. He came back home from the hospital but he could not do much work due to his feeble body. It was even hard to get up from the bed. He often said his body was in pain. After some time, his leg also broke due to falling from the bed. After some time, his one hand also broke. After several months, a rash spread all over his body. During these times, he tried to commit suicide. He tried to do that by using kerosene. But his clothes were somewhat wet, and the fire couldn't consume all his body. The fire did not spread well. However, the fire had damaged his hands and stomach area. He went to the hospital. But after this incident, he only lived a few months in extreme pain and died painfully.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 25:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated another butcher. He killed bulls. When bulls are bound to poles, he cuts one leg of a bull while the bull is standing. His habit was to cook that leg and eat it. He did this often. He cut the leg of one bull that was brought to be killed. When the bull cannot stand up due to oozing blood and fainting, he cut the neck of the bull using a knife. If the bull is young, sometimes he cuts two legs from that young bull. After several years, the butcher developed a sickness in his legs. His bones in his legs swelled and became weak. It was very painful for the butcher. He went to various doctors, but that sickness was an incurable disease. The pain and sickness only grew with time. After some time, this sickness spread to both his hands as well. No medicine could cure his strange sickness. However, he tried to cure his sickness by any means necessary. Once he went to meet a Buddhist monk who was famous as a psychic. The Buddhist monk had said to him, "Because of a sinful karma you have done, this sickness has come to you." The butcher had money and after meeting the Buddhist monk, he went to India to meet Sathya Sai Baba who was also famous as a psychic. The butcher then told Sathya Sai Baba about his sickness and Sathya Sai Baba had told him, "This is due to a sinful karma, save the animals, do not harm animals." After meeting Sathya Sai Baba of India, he came back to Sri Lanka and stopped harming bulls and killing bulls. But his sickness did not cure. Because of that, he became very angry and after several months started his old habit of harming bulls and killing bulls. But he was feeble and so he did harm and kill bulls with difficulty. His sickness only grew. After a short time, the butcher died in pain.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 26:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher who loved to cut the genitals of bulls. It was a great pleasure for him to cut the genitals of bulls. He did this work continuously for several years. One day, he fell ill. His illness involved blood coming out with his urine when he urinated. He went to a hospital, but doctors could not determine what the illness was. At first, doctors thought it might be due to a problem with his kidneys or liver, but they found no issues with his kidneys or liver. Therefore, this illness was a strange one. He returned from the hospital to his house and continued cutting the genitals and killing bulls as before. Sometimes, when he was standing, blood would come out from his penis. After some time, the blood flow increased, and he went to the hospital again. Doctors made him lie on a bed and used a tube to remove the blood that was coming out spontaneously. He lost a lot of blood, and his relatives had to donate blood. But blood often came out from his body. The illness was incurable. After some time, his urinary tract swelled, and he died painfully.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 27:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher who loved to have sex with young cows. In his slaughterhouse, if he found any young cows, he would bring them home and have sex with them. Because of that, some young cows' deaths were postponed for a few days or a few weeks. But eventually, all cows and bulls received death by his hands. He also loved to cut the genitals of cows and prepare a curry from the cow's genital meat. Once he brought a young cow home and tried to have sex with it. The cow was angry and stabbed the butcher. According to him, this was the only cow that treated him like this. The butcher was injured by the cow and he went to a hospital. After he came back home, he stabbed the cow using a sharp knife. He stabbed the genitals of the cow. Sometimes he brought very young small cows home. Once he kept such a cow for months without killing it. But in the end, he killed that small cow after several months, just as he did to other cows and bulls. After some time, he became sick. The sickness occurred in his genitals. He went to a hospital. Doctors treated him but his sickness was incurable. Blisters formed on his penis. Doctors decided it was necessary to cut his penis. There was no other choice and the butcher had to agree with the doctors. A part of his penis was cut and removed by surgery by the doctors. But after some time, the other part of his penis got wounded and pus came out. He lived very painfully due to this. After some time, he died in pain.

 

 

The Hunter Karma Case 28:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a hunter who was also a pork seller. He was a wild boar hunter. He goes to the forest and hunts wild boars. He hunted wild boars by using a gun trap. If he found a dead wild boar in his traps, he first burned fluff by using the fire of a flambeau. Then he attacked the body of the dead wild boar to marinate wild boar meat. After that, he sold wild boar meat. Once he found a dead deer in one of his traps. He became happy to eat deer meat because it was a rare chance. The hunter had a pregnant wife. Once his wife saw a dream. The dream was that a wild boar chased her husband and stabbed him to death by using its tusks. But after this incident, exactly one week after seeing the dream, he went to the forest to check whether there were any new dead wild boars in his gun traps. When he found a wild boar in one of his traps, it was not completely dead and the wild boar had jumped at him and stabbed him to death by using the tusks of the wild boar. He did not come back home that day and his wife went to the forest to find him. When the wife went forward, she saw her dead husband and a dead wild boar near a gun trap. She was able to realize what had happened. She understood that what she saw in the dream had actually happened. The hunter's wife went to other people living near the forest and brought back the dead body of her husband. About 2 days after his death, they held the funeral of the husband. That same day, the pregnant wife delivered a baby. But the baby died that same day during delivery. And the wife survived. The hunter's wife provided this information for the research.

He killed bulls by attacking their heads using a stick. He killed a lot of bulls in the slaughterhouse and brought home every day about 5 kilograms of beef. His wife cooked it for him. He did this for sometime. Once this butcher was caught in an argument with some other men in the neighborhood. The argument escalated into a fight. We could not get information about what the reasons were that led to the argument. However, boys and men had attacked him. Due to the attack, he was bedridden and his wife helped him. After sometime, wounds appeared all over his body. He was sent to the hospital but doctors could not heal his wounds. He came back home in pain. He lived painfully.

The Butcher Karma Case 30:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher who loved to eat the tongues of bulls. When he killed a bull, he would cut out the bull's tongue and tell his wife to prepare a curry using it. After some time, he started to cut out the tongues of bulls while they were still alive. He would bind the bull tightly to a pole by the neck, then open the bull's mouth, pull out the tongue, and cut it out using a sharp knife. Sometimes he even cut out the tongues of young calves. He often said he loved the milky taste of the tongues of young calves. However, after he continuously did this, a blister appeared on the butcher's tongue. The blister slowly grew. He tried to cure it using folk medicines at first, but the sickness was incurable. He then went to a hospital. Due to the treatment he received in the hospital, the blister stayed the same size without growing any more. Therefore, he came back home and resumed his old habits of cutting out the tongues of bulls and killing bulls. After some time, many blisters appeared on his tongue. He went back to the hospital, and the doctors said he had cancer. The doctors diagnosed that it was essential to cut out and remove his tongue. Then the doctors cut out and removed his tongue. He came back home. Now he lived without a tongue. Yet he still loved to cut out and eat the tongues of bulls and young calves. He was unable to taste anything because he was living without a tongue, but his desire for the tongues of bulls and calves was very high. After some time, he became sick again. This time, the cancer had spread all around his throat area. Doctors diagnosed it and said a part of his throat had been infected with cancer. And doctors further said they could do nothing now but for some relief, he could do radiation treatments. Radiation treatments, also known as radiation therapy, use high-energy rays to kill or damage cancer cells. The butcher then did radiation therapy. But even that didn't work, and his cancer was incurable. The throat area became fully wounded. He was unable to eat or drink water. Doctors, with great difficulty, put liquids into his stomach using a tube. The butcher lived in extreme pain for some time and then died shortly after.

 

 

The Butcher Karma Case 31:

 

(This case is a prospective analysis, meaning an examination of incidents and events as they occur.)

 

We investigated a butcher. He went to villages and brought bulls to his slaughterhouse. He did this by using a bullock cart. He generally loaded 2 bulls with 2 calves into this cart. The butcher's cart is pulled by a strong young bull. After some time, once he was going on a steep mountain area, this young bull could not pull the cart. The reason was that this time the butcher had loaded more bulls onto the cart. The young bull tried to pull the cart with the heavy load, but it couldn't pull the cart on the mountain road. The butcher had attacked the young bull using a cane. But the young bull was unable to pull the heavy load in this steep area. The butcher had become very angry and he had cut the end of the tail of the young bull. After several days, a wound appeared in the tail of the young bull. He had decided not to treat the young bull but instead to kill this young bull that he used to pull his cart. Thereafter he killed this bull too. But after about one week, a boil appeared in the buttock of the butcher. The boil grew bigger and bigger with time and he went to see a doctor. The doctors had said that it was necessary to do a surgical operation and remove the boil. And doctors did a surgical operation and removed the boil. But after several days, another boil appeared in his buttock. He went to the hospital and did treatments for the second boil but could not heal it. Later, when doing an X-ray, it was uncovered that the boil had developed till intestine. He did radiation therapy but could not heal the boil. He came back home and lived in pain. Pus came out from the boil and it was very difficult for him to go to the toilet also. Soon he died in pain.
