How to transform one's karma for better rebirths?

A Quote.

'People meet one another again if there was already a relationship in earlier lives and, as one notices in the press every day, connections can be many-faceted. In order that current troublemakers do not appear again in future lives, one can habitually do something good for them today, with the wish that they become very happy, as far away as possible.

Another useful action is to constantly forgive all unpleasant people. Then one doesn't have to carry them along as excess baggage through a life that is otherwise hopefully exciting. The precious freedom of being able to forgive dissolves the shared bad karma, and difficult beings will come back as friends or not appear again in a future life. On the other hand, if we keep the grudge, we do not get rid of them and the annoying sandbox games do not end. Even on our deathbed we can still excuse ourselves for our own stupid behavior and express our gratitude toward others. This not only redeems us but also the friends who are involved.'
