Karma. It is a word that many hear all the time, such as when someone says the infamous line, "Karma is going to come back to get you." The word, which is a Hindu and Buddhist principle referring to the sum of a person's actions in their current and previous states of life that help decide their fate in the future, is a minor concept in the eyes of many, but for some people, such as myself, it is something that I can say I firmly believe in.
To put a longer meaning into simpler terms, it all comes down to one value- do as to others as you would want done to you. Treat people as you would want to be treated in return, and so on. It is basic knowledge that many incoming college students were always taught as children, but yet, karma can go further than that. Karma is something that you can believe in.

Will what I’m about to do hurt someone, intentionally or unintentionally, or make someone feel bad? In that case, as karma dictates, it might “come back to bite me,” and it always will. Instead, anybody, whether it is myself or anybody else, can take a pledge to focus on creating a more positive karma for themselves. Instead of a bad deed coming back to haunt someone, a good deed is beneficial in the eyes of karma. It will not only help in the present, as a good deed is a win for everyone involved, but good things may happen in the future as well, and one may be rewarded for their actions in the end. Has anything ever happened to you where you have sat and thought, “What did I do to deserve something like this?” It could be because of something positive from the past. It’s a blast from the past, and that is
Karma is a belief in which if you do good, the world will reward you, and if you do bad, it will punish you. Just like in physics where every action has a reaction, is how it is in real life. If you commit a good deed, then somehow, someway, the universe will repay you. Bad actions lead to consequences which is what the universe will be in charge of.

In ancient times, documents helped religion carry their teachings more accurately and to more people. Hinduism was no exception, ancient writings were an essential part of it.

Karma, being basically you reap what you sew, or what goes around comes around. On the other hand, Dharma is the duty one has for their caste. These two things are key principals of Hindu philosophy. The poem explains how no one can escape karma, and that it is built into the universe, and how one must always follow their Dharma. But even with these things being the case, far beyond Karma and Dharma is Atman, our eternal soul, and that is the most important thing to remember.

Karma is whatever action you do has consequences whether they are good or bad. Karma is in everyday life whether it be a robber a getting arrested for robbing a bank to for somebody receiving money for helping an old lady with some task.

I believe in karma. Good and bad things happen to everyone, but some people end up a little more unlucky than others. Karma is the belief that positive and negative actions will be rewarded or punished. The reason I think karma is real is because it has happened to me and i’ve seen it happen to others. The times I see it happen most are when I am driving. Sometimes people build up a lot of anger on the road and start flipping people off and yelling at other drivers. One day when I was driving on the highway, I saw one guy who was truly angry at another driver on the road, and it was noticeably easy to see the two were yelling at each other. I saw one of the driver decide to be a jerk and cut the other one off. After the guy cut him off, he
Karma is the connotation of causality that past actions influence future events. This is the same for both Buddhism and Hinduism. Both also believe in an endless cycle of births known as endless cycle of births, known as samsara. and release from this cycle of rebirths.
In Buddhism, Karma has two forms; mental karma and deed karma (Encyclopedia of Religion 266). The two forms both abide by the belief that good or bad actions yield good or bad results. Mental karma is governed by what a person thinks. If a person thinks impure or malicious thoughts, they will build up bad karma during his life, and for pure thoughts, good karma is built up. Deed karma refers to the actions performed physically by a person. As with mental karma, deed karma is the culmination of good karma and bad karma resulting from one’s actions.
Karma explains that what people become in the present life is a result of their actions in the past life. Every action is followed by another action or an event appropriate which may last a lifetime. An individual by surrendering to God and becoming enlightened on liberation can build up a good karma and escape its bondage. Samsara is the final result of the ceaseless series of births and rebirths a human goes through till at last the final release from the bonds of life
In Buddhism the law of karma is the moral law of causation - good actions give good results and vice versa. It is the quality of an act, which determines its consequences. But what determines the karmic quality of a deed? In
Whatever you carry out in life, please accomplish it well because one day it will surely come back in another form to you. The law of karma ?what goes around comes around? alternatively, I will say what ever you sow you will surely reap.
“What goes around comes around” is a popular saying worldwide bad deeds never go unpunished. Everything we do or say determine on what’s going to happen to us in the future. Whether we act honestly, dishonestly, help or hurt others. Karma can be divided into good or bad. I believe that if you do something good something good will happen to you. if you do something bad then something bad will happen to you. karma is not something I believe in because of stories told by friends, but because of personal experiences.
