Buddhism teaches us that each person has his own true self (tathagatagarbha) which has never been born and will never die. Our good and bad deeds form seeds in this true self and when the necessary conditions are gathered, these seeds bear karmic fruits. Therefore, our behaviour, words, and thoughts will have consequences later and others will treat us as we treated them. That is why it is important to build good karmic relationships with all beings. Through these different stories, Buddha Shakyamuni gave examples of how the law of karma works and what should be done in order to avoid evil and perpetrate good.
