Simple reminder about the effects of karma by Master Tsong Kha Pa.

The Chapter of the Truth and Sutra on the Ten Levels both state that each of the nonvirtuous actions has two effects.

They say that even if you are bom a human, still:

[as a result of killing] you would have a short life span and many illnesses;

[as a result of stealing] you would have few resources and the resources you do have would be shared with others;

[as a result of sexual misconduct] your helpers would be disorderly or untrustworthy, and you would have a contentious spouse;

[as a result of lying] others would slander you a great deal, 
and they would deceive you;

[as a result of divisive speech] your helpers would not get along and would misbehave;

[as a result of offensive speech] you would hear unpleasant and quarrelsome speech;

[as a result of senseless speech] your words would not be respected or understandable, and your confidence would not be unshakable;

[as a result of covetousness] you would have great attachment and no contentment;

[as a result of malice] you would seek the unbeneficial or not seek the beneficial, and you would harm others or others would harm you;

[as a result of wrong views] you would have bad views and would be deceitful.
