If you pay attention to fellow Buddhists, you will see that those practitioners who have a stronger conviction in rebirth are usually more mindful and skillful than those who do not. They are more cautious with their physical and verbal actions. They assume that the consequences of their every action will come back around. Ironically, as a result of such attention to karma, they are actually freer. We do not believe in “punishment” in Buddhism, but we do recognize that every action has a consequence and that anything we experience now is the result of previous actions. That is the law of karmic result. - Phakchok Rinpoche
