Selfishness (egoism) is the root - for all suffering in "Samsara" (cycle of rebirths)! ... (S. Rinpoche)
"Karma" means that everything that we do with physical, language, or mind - shows results! - Even the smallest action already carries all its consequences in itself! - Never overlook negative actions! - Never look down on good deeds! - Karma does not disintegrate like external things, - and time, fire, water can not destroy it! - Destructive action leads only to pain and suffering! - The more careful you become towards your breath - the more you are in the present, and you reunite all your different aspects to a whole! - Compassion is never true compassion when it is not active! - We're all on the same executioner's cart on the way to execution. - How could I hate someone or want that something bad happens to someone? ... (T. Moore)
Whatever happens to us now reflects our past karma. - When we really understand that, we see suffering and difficulties no more as our failure or as a catastrophe, and not as a sort of punishment. - We no longer sink into guilt feelings and self-hatred ... (S. Rinpoche)

In Buddhist philosophy, egoism, or a strong sense of self, is indeed considered a root cause of suffering within the cycle of rebirth (Samsara). This sense of self is seen as an illusion, and attachment to this illusion, fueled by desire and ignorance, perpetuates the cycle of suffering.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
The Illusion of Self:
Buddhism teaches that there is no permanent, independent self or ego. Our sense of self is a constantly changing construct, a collection of physical and mental aggregates.
Attachment and Desire:
Clinging to this illusory self and its desires (for pleasure, possessions, etc.) leads to suffering. These desires are seen as insatiable, creating a cycle of craving and dissatisfaction.
Samsara and Suffering:
Samsara, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, is characterized by suffering. This suffering is fueled by ignorance (lack of understanding of the true nature of reality) and the attachments born from the ego.
Four Noble Truths:
The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism highlight this connection. The first truth is that life is inherently filled with suffering. The second truth identifies the origin of suffering as attachment to desire. The third truth offers the possibility of ending suffering by overcoming attachment, and the fourth outlines the path to liberation.
Ego and Conditioning:
Our ego, influenced by societal conditioning and personal experiences, plays a significant role in shaping our desires and behaviors, ultimately contributing to suffering.
In essence, by recognizing the illusory nature of the self and overcoming attachment to ego-driven desires, individuals can begin to break free from the cycle of suffering in Samsara.
Whatever happens to us now reflects our past karma. - When we really understand that, we see suffering and difficulties no more as our failure or as a catastrophe, and not as a sort of punishment. - We no longer sink into guilt feelings and self-hatred ... (S. Rinpoche)
Sogyal Rinpoche is a Tibetan Dzogchen Lama of the Nyingma tradition. He has been teaching for over 30 years. He travels widely in Europe, America, Australia

The idea that "the new day reflects our past karma" suggests that the circumstances and experiences of each new day are influenced by the cumulative actions and intentions from past lives or even earlier in the current life. This concept, rooted in the philosophy of karma, posits that our present reality is shaped by the consequences of our past deeds. It implies a cycle of cause and effect, where our present actions also contribute to the karmic landscape of future days.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Karma and Rebirth:
Karma:
In various Eastern philosophies, karma refers to the principle of cause and effect, where actions (physical, verbal, and mental) have consequences that influence future lives or even the present.
Rebirth:
The concept of rebirth or reincarnation often accompanies the idea of karma, suggesting that after death, individuals are reborn into a new life, with the quality of that life influenced by their accumulated karma.
Past Life Karma:
The idea is that our current experiences, including our relationships, challenges, and opportunities, are partly determined by the karma generated in past lives.
Present Karma:
Our current actions, thoughts, and intentions also contribute to the ongoing cycle of karma, shaping our future experiences.
Reflecting the Past:
Circumstances:
The circumstances of a new day, such as the people we encounter, the opportunities that arise, or the challenges we face, can be seen as reflections of past karma.
Reactions:
Our reactions to these circumstances also contribute to the karmic cycle. How we choose to respond to situations, whether with kindness, anger, or indifference, creates new karmic imprints.
Learning and Growth:
The concept of karma also emphasizes the potential for learning and growth. By understanding the connection between our past actions and present experiences, we can make more conscious choices and strive to create positive karma for the future.
In essence, the idea of the new day reflecting past karma is a reminder that our lives are not random, but rather shaped by the choices we have made and continue to make. It encourages us to be mindful of our actions and to strive for positive change.
