Rebirth with Karma
As we cultivate our spiritual practice, our level of spiritual progress determines our karmic relationships with other sentient beings as well as our understanding of the laws of karma.
With only a cursory knowledge of karmic laws,the karma accumulated in our present life will ripen at the appropriate times. However, our spiritual progress improves under the guidance of good spiritual mentors. When we become a bodhisattva, then we will have truly realized the principles of karma and purified our minds. We also help sow the bodhi seeds in others to help lead them on a path towards enlightenment.
