"What's the point in reducing negative karma if a person is dead?" Fangzheng frowned, kneading his brows together as he tried to think of a reason.
"Negative karma can be reduced after one realizes their sins and are willing to bear the karma. At the very least, one would no longer be affected by past karma. One would also suffer from a lesser amount of torture when sent to hell. As for those who remain unrepentant even in death, they would not be able to reduce their karma despite experiencing karmic punishment. The difficulty in which they reduce their negative karma would be ten fold a repentant person. They suffer while alive but it's worse in death. Therefore, the reduction of negative karma can be done by doing good or bearing karmic suffering,"
Fangzheng nodded and tapped his chin once more, "In that case, regardless if they are repentant or not, they can reduce their negative karma if they experience the suffering that's ten times greater?"
