I'm just curious.
Was having this discussion with a cell group yesterday and there were differing views from the members in the cell group.
Buddhists believe in Karma so if a mentally-insane or mentally-disturbed person commits sinful/wicked acts but he commited these wicked/sinful acts under a mentally-disturbed mind or mentally-unsound mind, then will he still suffer Bad Karma or retribution in his this SAME lifetime not not?
There's this new elderly member in the cell group, he had a mentally-disturbed son, his son would sometimes beat up his parents. Hence that elderly person wanted to know will his mentally-disturbed son suffer retribution later in his this same lifetime for beating up his own parents or not? But note he said his son commited this unfilial sinful acts when his mind is mentally-disturbed and not of sound mind.
