A single cause requires the help of many conditions in order for its effects to come to fruition. When the time comes and all the necessary conditions are present, there will certainly be an effect.

If the time has yet to come, there might not be an effect.

Buddhas and all sentient beings are of the same true nature. Bhikshu Dharmakara was wise; he cultivated and became Amitabha Buddha. We, on the other hand, are victims of our secular cleverness and have converted ourselves into mundane people. What a waste! How pitiful!

The empty nature of the universe is what allows infinite planets to come into and out of existence. Because all phenomena undergo arising and cessation, they are impermanent. Although impermanent, the cyclic nature of birth and death grants all phenomena continuity.
