All the teachings from all the world religions throughout time comprise the Ancient Wisdom Teachings. Those Master Teachers and Sages that have been sent by God to human beings over thousands of years have demonstrated and taught those who were open. These became the disciples of the Ancient Wise Ones and their lessons and teachings have been passed down through history. If you study these teachings from each of the world religions, you will note a common theme: love of God and love of neighbor.
Some Eastern religions do not have a direct conception of God, but do consider compassion and respect for all of life as very similar to the Western version of love of God. These teachings are universal and everyone who comes into a direct experience of the ONE understands anyone else who has this experience. In this unity of experience, we are all sisters and brothers in God.
We teach the Ancient Wisdom Teachings to our students. They can be summarized to be mindfulness of life, respect for others, compassion for the suffering, and understanding for those that do things differently, patience with those who are different or slower, helpfulness in the face of difficulties, reverence and support for all of life. Included in these teachings is an understanding of how God works, how things are created and how to become one with the being that created us. So we teach how to communicate in prayer and meditation with the Being that created us. We teach the Law of Cause and Effect or Karma, that whatever you put out, you will get back. We teach that everything matters and we are responsible for what we think, say and do. We teach the way to overcome problems and heal our broken hearts and twisted minds. We demonstrate how to come into union with God through our practices and teachings. All the saints and sages have taught the same things, from a different cultural and language perspective. They are the same.

Yes, Christ did teach about karma! If you don't beileve Father Peter then believe the scripture. Romans
2:1-3. Eat of the Tree of life and abandon the other tree for if you judge another, even for his intellect you immediatly come under judgement. Can you say, depression?? Among other things such as becoming what you judged. I know this by experience and its not fun.
