Summary

Individuals go through certain processes and accompanying experiences throughout their lives that they have chosen, and those would be based on the results of their own creations. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy brought to others. The "Law of Karma" is central in all the religions born in India and Nepal: Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism. All living creatures are responsible for their karma - way of life - and for their release from samsara. Karma is simply the golden rule: what you give out is what you receive: either in the same or in similar form. You reap what you sow - your actions create that which you do live out now, whether this relates to a past/future life situation or to the present time.
