People refer to karma frequently, but how many actually know what karma is? The word karma literally means action. In the Buddhist tradition karma is used to refer to the natural law of cause and effect. ...
The first thing I think of when I think about karma is when my friend, Jess, and I were walking along a sidewalk in Bakersfield at a horse show. ... All I said to her as I helped her up was “instant karma.” The bad karma my friend built up when she refused to move out of the way instantly caused her to trip.
Karma means that if an individual’s actions are positive then good things will happen, and conversely if an individual’s actions are negative then bad things will happen to him. Karma does not necessarily mean that if I punch John today, then someone will punch me tomorrow. ... More importantly, my action will build up negative karma within myself. ...

At the level of the individual, karma teaches us that we should let go of expectations and material things. ... Of course we will still be sad if a loved one dies, but through implementing karma we learn to observe these feelings and know that they will fade with time. ...

Karma contains the same ideology as many of the big religions. ... Karma promotes this same idea that our actions today determine what kind of a place we will be in the future.
