<p>You  surely know already. It's simple. Bad actions leads to bad results. Good actions lead to good results.</p>

<p>Like when someone gives from the bottom of their heart, that someone's vipaka is the  development of the bottom of their heart.</p>

<p>Subtle bad actions that we can't even see, the substance of avijja, leads to subtle or substantial bad results. </p>

<p>Death is the vipaka of being compelled to exist or being compelled to not exist on  through<br>

You surely know already. It's simple. Bad actions leads to bad results. Good actions lead to good results.

Like when someone gives from the bottom of their heart, that someone's vipaka is the development of the bottom of their heart.

Like when someone get's angry, the vipaka is often anger right back at that someone or that someone looking like a fool.

I'm still finding out the good actions. So I constantly ask myself "What are the good actions?".

Subtle bad actions that we can't even see, the substance of avijja, leads to subtle or substantial bad results.

Death is the vipaka of being compelled to exist or being compelled to not exist on through  
samsara.
