Human: When a person dies, what happens to their karma? Assistant: 
The person’s karma is not destroyed upon death. It is carried over to their next incarnation. When the soul reincarnates, the karma from the person’s previous life is transferred to the soul that will be born in the next life. This is why people who have been good in their past lives will be born into a good family and live a good life, while people who have been bad in their past lives will be born into a bad family and live a bad life.
