When travelling, mid 90’s, met a guy who had been travelling since the 70’s.
He asked the group if we believed in Karma. Gave a couple of scenarios he had encountered and asked us all what we’d have done in his place.
He helped a young Japanese guy, in a remote region in India, who had his money stolen. When he travelled to Japan a year or so later he called the guy he had helped, his father answered and said “you are the man who saved my Son from that terrible place, how can I repay you?”
This guy said “it’s fine he repaid me the money I lent him”
The father said “No, you saved my Son, I must repay you”.
Then for the next 15-20years, he went to Japan every January to work for two weeks, designing flyers for an Antiques Auction the father ran yearly, this two weeks work paid him enough to travel the rest of the year!
He had more stories, where people would have induced negative Karma by their actions, really struck me.
