plain and simple think of KARMA as a mirror reflecting all of your energy, if you are negative you will bask in negativity. if you are positive you will reap positivity! good in good, out, bad in, bad out.

This is general term for the law of cause and effect as applied to human action. Karma is created by thought, feeling, and acting unless any of these is offered as an unconditional gift of love to what one regards as sacred. Example, love your neighbor and get love back. Smiles beget smiles. Punch someone and get punched back. Nations can create karma as can individuals. Sometimes the effects are hard to tie to the causes. The subject is often studied together with reincarnation, but it has similarities to the Christian idea of Purgatory. It is a law that is inviolate, like gravity.

Karma (Sanskrit: à¤à¤°à¥à¤® from the root ká¹, "to do", [meaning deed] meaning action, effect, destiny) means "(the result of) action", generally taken as a term that comprises the entire cycle of cause and effect. Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. Individuals go through certain processes and accompanying experiences throughout their lives which they have chosen, and those would be based on the results of their own creations: "karma". Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

The Law of Karma
In Buddhist teaching, the law of karma, says only this: `for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.' A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things. (Events are not skillful in themselves, but are so called only in virtue of the mental events that occur with them.)
Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them.
