The Law of KarmaKarma, also known as Karman, is a basic concept common to Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The doctrine of Karma states that a person's state in this life is the result of both physical and mental actions in past incarnations, and that action in this life can determine one's destiny in future incarnations. Karma is a natural, impersonal law of moral cause and effect and has no connection with the idea of ​​a supreme power that decrees the punishment of forgiveness of sins. Karmic law is universally applicable, and only those who have achieved the liberation of rebirth, called mukti (or moksha) or nirvana, can transcend it. (The Columbia Encyclopedia) Fundamental consciousness can be compared to soil that receives the imprints or seeds left by our actions. Once planted, these seeds remain in the soil of fundamental consciousness until the conditions for their germination and maturation are met... the sequence of the different stages of this process, from the causes, to the initial acts , up to their consequences, present themselves and future experiences or the causality of actions. In the sense that good or positive energy omitted by an individual will transfer that energy between another being until at that point, even though that energy has transformed into different forms, it will eventually return to the person who created it. This is also true for its opposite, like: if you cheat on a loved one by breaking their heart while you are unharmed, in other words something negative towards someone, then that energy is brought back to you in a negative way as well . The theory of Karma is the theory of cause and effect, action and reaction; it is a natural law, which has nothing to do with the idea of ​​justice or right...... middle of paper ......ant or unpleasant depending on whether its cause was skillful or unskillful. A skillful event is one which is not accompanied by envy, resistance or illusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any of these things. Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions lies with the one who commits them. According to Buddhism, evil is not sin but ignorance.
