(Chinese version below)
These are 52 cases of causes-and-effects concerning deceased people
who received Achuk Lama Rinpoche's help in observing their state
after death and determining the causes of these states (ie, the
actions the deceased had performed prior to their deaths) It is a
chilling teaching to us and evidence of the unfailing nature of
karma cause and effect as well as a testimony to the sufferings of
samsra. May all beings avoid all negative deeds, perform all
positive deeds and purify their minds.

When I (Achuk Lama Rinpoche) was asked where Chalole's younger
brother had taken rebirth, i replied, "Is this person deaf?"

killed a snake." They said, "When he was young, he dug out a snake
and killed it while playing." I said, "Behind your house, there is
a pile of rocks, in it is the snake. Bring it here." When they went
to look, they really found the snake and brought it to Lama
Rinpoche. Later the snake was salvaged through confession by
recitation of scriptures etc.

destroy it?" Lama Rinpoche said, "Destroying it is good, she will
take rebirth in a positive realm. I dare to guarantee it."

said, "You must continue with advising others about the prayers for
the deceased." Thus i continued and have advised more then 100,000
people about this. Here, for the benefit of letting people know

giving them faith and understanding about karma, i have briefly
described some.
(Note: Sera Yangtrul is a treasure-revealer and great master. He is
one of Achuk Lama Rinpoche's Gurus. Arik Rinpoche is Lama
Rinpoche's Root Teacher)
