Cause and Effect Today I heared one of the features of believing in Buddihism is to believe in Cause and Effect. Cause and effect is transcendental according to some philosophers, which is universal and decisive. I agree with that, but I don't think people always deserve those effects, good ones or bad ones, because there are many causes from oneself or outside, but he or she is the only bearer of the effect. I also don't believe a former life or a latter life.
