Rebirth

Chapter 12

Rebirth

Kamma necessarily leads to rebirth. Past Kamma conditions the present birth, and present Kamma, in combination with past Kamma, the future. The present is the offspring of the past, and becomes, in its turn, the parent of the future.

The present needs no proof. The past is based on memory and reports, and the future on forethought and inferences.

開佛知見，示佛知見，使悟佛知見，入佛知見也。
