Learn about How Things Link Each Other
Lord Buddha preached that all creatures are spinning in rebirth cycle (Sansara) cause of this reasons & results theory (also so called as Dependent Organism). Consciousness stick to rebirth cycle cause of reasons. This is one of important discovery of Lord Buddha. Sutra Pitakaya said that when Buddha was thinking about this theory just after enlightened, colorful radiations emitted from Buddha's body. Also when some enlightened monks were thinking about this theory, their physical sicknesses are removed from their body. One reason gives result to create another reason & so on, therefore this is called as reasons & results theory. Also wise people should want to know this Dharma Theory therefore this was named as Noble Theory. Lord Buddha had said once, unknowingness of this theory may help to get all pains & worries in rebirth cycle however at nowadays understanding this theory make us free from all these pains & worries!

Cause of this lust & desires, creatures born in next life according to their own Karma. Buddhism categorize Karma as three ways: Time, Function & Methods. When someone dies his final energy packet of mind (Consciousness) focus relevant Karma & next energy packet create according to this Karma which is giving birth to next life. There have no inter-life between death & birth in Theravada Buddhism. However consciousness can reincarnate as temporary energy being. So this way we get “World” & “Type of Being” according to Karma. Here we discuss different ways of Karma.
Karma with Time | Karma with Function | Karma with Methods of Results |
---|---|---|
Gives results at any moment in this lifetime itself. | Karma which gives birth, deciding place and world. | Good deeds cause of meditation & bad deeds cause of five great sins |
Gives result at any moment in next lifetime. | Karma which helps to other karma to give results as combined karma | Karma which are done as daily routine as practicing by person. |
Gives results in any moment in rebirth cycle in future lifetimes. | Karma which totally stop another karma & make it powerless. | Powerful karma which are done near period to death. |
Karma don't give results cause of power of other karma. | Karma which stop another powerless karma & give results. | If there have no other Karma, any other Karma randomly give results. |
Lord Buddha said person who did these five Karmas, will not get rid from four hells & get pains for long infinitive time in hell. Other all Karma can be changed with own persistence & working hard. Like poor person who born with powerless karma but he can work hard and then become rich person one day. But these five great sins can’t be cut off any way except those are removing by own suffering in hell.
