Good has its reward and evil has its retribution, the heavenly karma, does it exist or not?

The good has its reward, the evil has its retribution, the heavenly way of karma, in the end exists or not?

There is a saying among Chinese people: "Good has its reward, evil has its retribution, and it is not unrewarded, the time has not yet come".

The ancients used this philosophical saying to advise the world to do more good deeds and less good deeds in order to gain more blessings.

Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all teach people to be virtuous and good, advocate truth, goodness and beauty, and promote positive energy.

For example, the Buddhist "Song of the Three Causes and Effects" emphasizes that: "If you want to know the cause of your past life, you have to be the recipient of this life; if you want to know the result of your future life, you have to be the author of this life; the cause of your life is not a fixed cause, the result of your life is not a fixed result; the cause of your life is cyclical, and the cause of your life is through the three worlds".

The Buddhist music also points out that planting a good cause leads to a good result, and planting an evil cause leads to an evil result.

The so-called three worlds of karma are the past, present and future. From these or traditional culture, we can learn that the ancients still pay attention to care about the cycle of cause and effect.

They believed that one reward for another, the wheel of heaven, the cycle of cause and effect is continuous, one wave after another, unceasing.

And the traditional culture of the I Ching is the first of the group of scriptures, the source of the Great Dao. The I Ching is based on the natural truth of the cycle of birth and death through the simple yin and yang and the five elements.

The Zhouyi tells people a truth in many places, "A family that accumulates good deeds will have a surplus of blessings, and a family that accumulates bad deeds will have a surplus of disasters."

That is to say, a family that accumulates good deeds will have more blessings; a family that does not accumulate good deeds and does more evil deeds will also accumulate more calamities.

This viewpoint is also in line with our Chinese heritage of punishing evil and promoting good.

From the reality of life, good people are rewarded. And the evil people, even if temporarily avoided accountability, but the net of justice, later still are caught in the cage.

So, the ancient saying: "The way of heaven is good, the heavens have spared no one", there is a certain truth!
