Human beings are uniquely different from birth in terms of our looks, our social standing, our economical status, etc. What then causes us to be uniquely different? The Lord Buddha discovered that our uniqueness was determined by our distinctly different past overall Kamma. The Kamma Principle is deceptively simple. But it is actually very difficult to understand especially the part about the consequences of Kamma.
The Lord Buddha discovered that the Law of Kamma is a law of nature which could not be violated. It must be obeyed by all human beings otherwise they will incur ill consequences. Therefore, the Lord Buddha had taken the time to teach about the Law of Kamma and provide the Kamma Principle as the framework for our conduct. The Kamma Principle states that whoever performs good Kamma will receive good consequences. Whoever performs bad Kamma will receive bad consequences. That is, we reap what we sow. Therefore, we should base what we do, say, or think on the Kamma Principle.
