And what is the result of Kamma?


The result of Kamma, I say, is threefold: [to be experienced]

in this very life, or

in the [next] rebirth, or

on some subsequent occasion.


This is called the result of Kamma.


This, Monks, is called actions’ fruit.


(Reference: AN 6.63)


In this Teaching from Gotama Buddha, he shares how Kamma will be experienced in this very life, the next rebirth, or on some future occasion. In other words, one cannot run or hide from the results of the decisions that they make. It is not possible to do unwholesome bodily, verbal, or mental actions in life and avoid the consequences of those decisions.


Each being will experience the results of their decisions.


The Natural Law of Kamma does not need to be feared. The Natural Law of Kamma needs to be understood so that we can make wise choices in our life that lead to a more peaceful mind and a more peaceful existence for us individually and all of humanity.


There is no fear in these Teachings and there is no fear in Kamma.


The only one who fears Kamma is the person who does not understand The Natural Law of Kamma and is unable to make wise decisions that would lead to a more peaceful existence.


The more you learn and practice The Teachings of Gotama Buddha, the more awakened the mind will become to The Natural Law of Kamma and the better decisions one can make. This will result in a more peaceful existence to include a peaceful, calm, serene, and content mind with joy.


Gotama Buddha’s Teachings are guiding you in understanding this Natural Law of Kamma to awaken the mind to better life choices that lead to an improved existence.


Each person has 100% ability to make decisions in their life, these are personal choices. Based on the personal choices we make, the resulting effect will be experienced. This is our Kamma.
