Rearview Karma

A Collection of Short Buddhist Fiction

Each story follows ordinary people at turning points: a word left unsaid, a grievance released, a kindness misunderstood, a life re-examined just before it changes. Rather than dramatic revelations, the book dwells in small awakenings—those moments when a character realizes that what they are running from is already behind them, and what they seek cannot be grasped by force.

Woven through themes of compassion, impermanence, and non-attachment, Rearview Karma invites the reader to look back without clinging, forward without fear, and inward with honesty. It is not a book about enlightenment achieved, but about awareness emerging—one breath, one choice, one quiet insight at a time.

Rearview Karma is a quiet, contemplative collection of short Buddhist fiction that explores how the past lingers—often unseen—shaping the present moment in subtle and irreversible ways.
