Karma - Cause and Effect
According to the Buddhist view, karma is not synonymous with fate, but the basis for personal freedom and responsible, meaningful action.
The term "karma" literally means "action, deed or activity" and refers to the law of cause and effect. According to Buddha, neither a creator god, a force of destiny, nor an external cause are responsible for our experiences. Past actions, words and thoughts became our present world. We are constantly sowing the seeds for our future.
The explanations about cause and effect offer a basis to shape one's life in a self-responsible and meaningful way. One learns to understand connections and applies the insight that one can consciously decide in everyday life.
