Karma is a b*tch !

"Karma is a b*tch"

It's a famous phrase, and the term "karma" is related with the topics that we have been working on class.

But, what is Karma ?

In Indian religions is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect originating in ancient India and treated in the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh religions.

"God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does he make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives you exactly what you deserve."

In Buddhism, karma is strictly distinguished from vipāka, meaning "fruit" or "result". Karma is categorized within the group of cause in the chain of cause and effect, where it comprises the elements of "volitional activities" and "action". Any action is understood as creating "seeds" in the mind that will sprout into the appropriate result when they meet with the right conditions. Most types of karmas, with good or bad results, will keep one within the wheel of samsāra, while others will liberate one to nirvāna.

Karma is not fate, because humans act with free will creating their own destiny. 

 

This is basically saying that everything that you do in this life, bad or good, it's going to return back to you. So be careful on what you do, You don't want to end up saying "Karma is a bitch”.
