Karma

A term, derived from the Sanskrit 'deed', which describes a fundamental concept in Hinduism and Buddhism that thoughts and deeds determine the consequences of one's life and rebirth. Karma may therefore loosely be described as the law of consequences. In a popular sense, karma is sometimes regarded as the Eastern equivalent of the Western 'destiny' or 'fate', but this is an erroneous view. Karma is properly regarded as the fruits of action in a previous lifetime which determines the conditions of a life in a subsequent incarnation; this is quite different from the Western concept of destiny, which is not necessarily connected with deeds of a previous existence. Karma can be either good or bad, with relative consequences, and is generally viewed as inescapable, though various techniques of meditation and chanting exist to try to mitigate it.   From: Occultopedia
