if morals are relative (certainly you are not a christian) then How the karmic law works?

Answer 1

It doesn't.

Answer 2

Well, if you enjoy pain, dish it out. Karmic laws don't judge, they just say that whatever you do will increase the net amount of that feeling in the world. But there are some things humans don't like, so if you don't want to increase the chance of those things happening to you, don't do the "bad" things that are similiar to it.

Answer 3

Karmic law has nothing to do with "morals"... it has to do with cause and effect and actions which cause harm and suffering, ultimately causing people to whirl around in the cycle of samsara, or not.

There is no finite beginning, but for the sake of explanation we'll pretend it begins with thought (which actually arises due to causes and conditions and karma as well... but again, we're pretending) which starts in the mind, attached to the sensory organs, giving us perceptions and if our minds aren't cultivated to see things "correctly" (as Buddhism teaches the word) you either develop over-attachments or aversions to objects. Attachments to things you think will cause you happiness or aversions to the things that you think ultimately don't are the issue... remember, the goal of all sentient beings is to be ultimately happy, no? (reference Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs if you will...)

So... the karmic "seeds" are planted according to how you react to "stimuli", and then either act on them or not (i.e. causing further "harm" and suffering either for yourself or others or both, or NOT), which plants further karmic seeds. The seeds become something greater than the original issue, and when the causes and conditions for the seed to ripen arises... then the effect arises as well. And the cycle goes around and around again and again, until you either see what's causing the issue and learn to meet things with correct view and a calmer mind or not.

It's not about nihilism and denying yourself, nor is it about extreme materialism... both are incorrect view... rather it's a middle way, an understanding that begins (as you train your mind) to see both sides of the coin until you're no longer fooled by the carrots dangled before you and you don't over-react... which stalls the karmic cycle until you are no longer SLAVE to your mind and emotions and stimuli, etc.

This is a disgusting explanation, which pales by comparison to those of the lamas and good teachers... but I tried...

Hope this helps a bit...

Answer 4

Who said karma works?

I certainly didn't, and see no evidence that it does. After all, Hitler managed to get away with his part in the murder of six million people with just a painless bullet through the brain, and that was the end of him entirely, no real punishment.

Answer 5

The way I understand karma is similar to the scripture that says, "What you sow, is what you will reap."
