Editing Nichiren Shōshū (section)

===The Laws of Karma and Rebirth===
The sect teaches that human children choose to be reborn to their parents based on the parents' accumulated karma of causes and conditions that existed from past and present lives. Accordingly, the sect further teaches that other life forms also generate their own karma based on [[cause and effect]] that does not recognize both space and time. These willed rebirths include humans, animals and other life forms (and vice versa) that choose to be reborn in whatever capacity to advance the Buddhist enlightenment of [[Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo]] in the universe.
