Whatever we do, we will get the consequence,

Do not blame anyone when receiving retribution.

Who cultivates good seeds will get good fruit,

Who does evils will get bad consequence,

Don't say that the cause and effect is untrue,

We will pay karmic debts in near future, or our descendant will in distant future.




To understand your previous lives,

Look at retribution in your present life.

To have a preview of your next life,

Examine your daily acts in this life.
