1. Cause and effect
If in the past. One beat. tortured and caned living beings. In this life ulcers and sores will grow on one's body.
The Supreme Sages: The Lord Buddha can understand the unlimited past. future and present. To say it more clearly: He completely understands the unlimited three periods of time and space.
The buddhistTexts state: Sages that have cut off the streams of Karmic affictions will be able to understand the history within the past 84,000 Kalpas (I kalpa is 1343,840,000 years)
When you perform virtuous deeds, you will receive good blessing; when you commit evil acts, you will receive bad endings. Good seeds bear good fruits; This is the law of Karmic retribution.
The Avatamasaka Sutra state: Bodhisattvas at the third stage of spiritual attainments, are able to understand their immediate past life, their 2nd and 3rd past lifes, their past hundred lives, even their past thousand lives... unlimitedhundred thousand past lives. For example: able to remember the formation ans destruction of the world, one's own names, family clanship. One's span of life, one physical appearances, one's happy and unhappy experiences, the places we were born and died.
