If this dhamma is understood, a human being can escape from the cycle of life, as the Buddha and his disciples did. As explained above, this dhamma is not only theory but can be practised. This teaching of the Buddha also can be used in modern times to find the arising of the cause and to solve the real cause. Evil causes in society result in ignorance which leads to doing evil and then the evil result will be expected. Good causes result in wisdom or right understanding which leads to doing good and then the good fruit will be gained. This is the law of cause and effect.
