kind of, I believe it in the sense that a person who is behaving negatively will attract negativity and a person who is positive towards other people will get that back from people, I don't know if that's exactly what karma is though

[billy123]

No.
Karma is bullshlt to make losers feel better about themselves.
A classic case of this occurred to me not long ago someone i know who is an utter bigoted twat who does nothing but use,abuse and slag off everyone and everything!!
He is a horrible person through and through who has never helped anybody out with anything has just won over £152,000 pounds on the lottery by matching 5 numbers and the bonus ball.
I honestly could not think of anybody that deserves it less than him karma is bullshlt.

I used to believe in karma until there was a discussion about it here, I think it was about a year ago. So I don't really believe in it anymore.

Bad things happen to random people, not the ones who deserve it.

[Stacey.]

Yeah, sort of

[Jessica.]

no

[Jords]

I remember when I made a thread about karma, LMAO.

Yeah, but not because of any 'forces' or anything, just that bad people will get their upcommence and good people will get rewarded eventually.

Indeed it is but the Buddhist concept of karma is a lot different to what new age potatoes in the west describe as Karma.

In the west they think if you are good, good things will happen in your life and conversely bad thingswill happen if you are bad. While there is a little of that in the Buddhist idea its not just cause and effect related.

The Buddhist concept is closely tied in with rebirth and reincarnation, and rewards or status in a later life from actions or intent in this life.

Good or skillful karma comes from giving, unselfishness, mindfulness whereas bad karma or unskillfull comes from greed hatred and ignorance.

Karma comes from actions speech and thought. And it can be weighted. You earn more unskilled by being bad to good people, etc.

A similar belief is also held in Hinduism.

In both religions by becoming enlightened or attain supreme consciousness you will overcome karma.
