Here is a link to a talk that Khandro Rinpoche gave called "Practicing in Times of Adversity". It is audio only. www.khandrorinpoche.org/practicing-in-times-of-adversity/
As Rinpoche says: "It is a time of unspeakable fear and disruption for most of the world. During such times of crisis and struggle which arise in our lives, our practice could be one of the first things we turn to."

I always wondered how Samsara is formed and how it started? When or how Karma started?

[@n.p.mackenzie]

Buddhists don’t believe that the universe has a beginning and an end. I think looking for a start of something is from this tendency to be influenced by some religions which believe humanity is caused by a fall from grace.
Confusion about the nature of reality is what causes samsara and we therefore cling at relative reality (our experience through the senses) thinking it is permanent. Absolute reality is interdependent and impermanent therefore does not need to be grasped at. To realise that absolute reality which is beyond the conceptual, relative mind is to be free from samsara. We can realise that absolute reality through mindfulness and letting go (which is essentially a recognition of impermanence). There are many gates to this realisation and it is actually a simple task but not easy to do given the all too human tendency to overcomplicate.

Can you have a family without creating Samsara?

[@DharmaTime-is-now]

Everybody that isn’t enlightened is creating their own samsaras all the time - with or without families. Meditation is the means to break that cycle

[@a0um]

@@DharmaTime-is-now could an enlightened person want to have a family, i.e. children?

[@DharmaTime-is-now]

@@a0um sure, enlightenment is supposed to be about how people think and behave. Getting to enlightenment sometimes seems like a mythical destination. There aren’t too many people that are pointed to as examples of enlightenment and those who come out and claim they’re enlightened usually have something to sell.
