Karma
The Sanskrit word Karma (or kamma in Pali) literally means action. Whatever we do, with our body, speech, or mind, will have a corresponding result. It mainly refers to one's intention or motivation while doing an action. The effects or results of karma are 'vipaka' or 'phala'. 'You get what you give' in Buddhism or 'A person reaps what he sows' in Christianity. It is a term about the cycle of cause and effect and is an important part of many religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Ayyavazhi, Sikhism and Jainism.
