In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Aparipakva (अपरिपक्व) refers to “(that which has) not yet ripened”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 39).—Accordingly, “[The knowledge of the retribution of actions (karmavipāka-jñānabala)].—[...] According to the Karmavibhaṅgasūtra: ‘If the bad action done by the evil man during the present lifetime has not yet ripened (aparipakva) and if a good action done by him during a previous lifetime is already ripened, then for this reason—although presently he is doing something bad—he takes rebirth in a good place. Or again if, at the moment of his death, a good mind and good mental events arise in him, then for this reason, he takes rebirth in a good place [...]’”.
