As a result, the precepts begin to be actualized as our own life. Real atonement takes place only when the bodhi mind has been raised and practice is engaged. When that has happened, we're dealing with a very powerful spiritual magnet that attracts everything into the sphere of practice. Raising the bodhi mind, practice and enlightenment thus become one reality. All evil karma ever committed by me since of old.
Every cause has an effect, and every effect is the next cause.
Cause does not precede effect, and effect does not follow cause. This is why karma does not move in only one direction. Remarkably it moves backward in time and space as well as forward in time and space. It permeates the ten directions. Because of my beginningless greed, anger, and ignorance.
