what is karma?

Question

Tell me about karma? Whats ur opinion on it. Dou believe in it ?

Answer 1

I see karma play out every day.

Everything that happens to us is our karma, both good and bad. Everything that we are experiencing now is a reaction to something we have done in the past, either in this life or a previous one. Also by our actions now we are creating our karma for the future.

Simple: What goes around comes around. What you sow, so shall you reap.

The hard part is never knowing if it's something you did in this life or a past one.

Also consider:
Bad luck seems to come attached to so many different factors, but karma may be one of them. If you really believe this to be the case (or even if you don't) then to my understanding the best way to deal with it would be thus :

1. Acceptance - bad karma is a kind of self inflicted penance...so accept that things are going against your way - accept with an open heart.

2. Learn - karma is a self inflicted teaching tool, - so dig deep to find any lessons you can amongst the things that are happening to you. Look for a message, look for a reason...what is it trying to show you?

3. Be good and forgiving - to others. Bad karma is somewhat unavoidable in the immediate future since it is already programmed (by your higher self). But deeds of good will and FORGIVING of others will help clear the future karmic road.

4. Remember - a rocky karmic road is an opportunity for increased personal growth. See it as a positive challenge (as best you can). Let it help you grow strong, but remain open at the same time... Open to lessons, open to growth, open to change.... Change hurts, but usually only the more so because we fight it.

Answer 2

Basically it is, what goes around, comes around.
It is a part of the Hindu and Buddist philosophies, as well as a few other eastern religions/philosophies.
I believe in Karma, I treat people the way I want to be treated. I try not to hurt anyone cause I know some where down the line it'll happen to me.
I also believe that if you make up for what you have done, your less likely to be effected by karma's "wrath".

Answer 3

Karma is the weight of our actions. some actions are heavy, some are lighter than air. To the Hindu, the light karma is good because it will allow one to be reincarnated as a Deva or other godly entity. To a Buddhist all karma is bad as it all ties us strongly to this world.

Answer 4

Karma is a sanskrit word. It literally means 'act'. In Hinduism the present effect is due to the karma or action you have done in the past. A good karma leads to good effect.

Answer 5

karma means - Action, but some stupid people think it is some big religions matter and asking lot of question about this

Answer 6

Do good things and good things happen to you.
Do bad things and bad things happen to you.

That is what Karma basically is.
Example 1 :
Paris Hilton breaks the law.So she gets arrested

Example 2 :
Paris Hilton is good in jail.She gets released and is more popular than ever.

Answer 7

Basically, it is the belief that the way you treat others will come back on you.You backstab someone, you will be backstabbed in return. In other words, what goes around comes around.

Answer 8

I guess so, sometimes. Even if you believe in it or not, you should be careful what you do to others 'cause it really could come back to you.

Answer 9

Karms is the same as "What goes around comes around" or "you get back what you put out", or evil begets evil". do I believe of course it makes sense.

Answer 10

It is 100 % true. If you are a b@stard then something bad will happen to you.
