This is a qualitative research.

In the study, it was found that the value and significance of Sambhãravipãka basically refer to the process in cultivating perfection of Bodhisattva who is collecting goodness in order to become a Buddha. Sambhãravipãka is the result of Sambhãra which means the collection of goodness, ten perfections (Pãramĩ), namely, (1) charity, (2) morality, (3) renunciation, (4) wisdom, (5) effort, (6) forbearance, (7) truth, (8) determination, (9) loving-kindness, and (10) equanimity. The regularly practice such alms-giving by materials is called Dãna-Pãramĩ. The superior practice such sacrifice one’s organs is called Dãna-Upapãramĩ (Superior Perfection in Charity). The advanced practice such sacrifice one’s life is called Dãna-paramatthpãramĩ (Supreme Perfection in Charity). It is to show the power covering all human beings life who have done action which is either good or bad, they will receive the result of that action fairly. All human beings live in the present are compared with living in the field of selection of Kamma creation, the field where is the result of Kamma which all human beings had done in the former time, then, they were bound to receive the result of those Kammas. Those mentioned Kammas will do its duty at all times thoroughly, one who does good, will receive good. One who does evil, will receive badness as a reward. Therefore, since then it is very essential to maintain the valuation and significance of Sambhãravipãka to next Buddhist generations.
