These case studies, which make fascinating reading, lend strong evidential support to the hypothesis of rebirth and thus help to illuminate the ultimate questions concerning human destiny after death.
The Doctrine of Karma is a sine qua no of the Buddhist Theory of Existence and, in fact, formed a central theme in India. Karama is defined basically as action which, in turn, has its basis in volition, either good or bad. Hence, Karma is mostly volition and has implications running into psychological, ethical and social spheres; its manifestations are thus threefold. The author of this treatise explores Karma in all its ramifications according to what is laid bare in the pali canon and its allied commentaries. This book undoubtedly forms an important contemporary contribution in assessing the Early Buddhist Theory of Karma in all its implications.
