Karma

Karma, Vipaka and Rebirth:

Karma is the psychological impulse that is behind the action. We carry a mental picture from which feelings, subtle and not so subtle emotions, and so motivating forces arise! This tension is Karma. When your mind is perfectly calm, there is not Karma.

In Buddhism terms, Karma or emotion, is considered as unskillful. All emotion, feelings of love or hate, any outward physical or verbal display, is unskillful behavior, i.e.bad Karma.

Control of emotions is considered as skilful, competent, good, and which brings skilful behavior, happiness, harmony, and progress along the path. i.e. good Karma.

The behavior of a person is an expression of his dispositions.

Karma is not the result of emotion or action, vipaka is the result.



The Law of karma:

Good karma produces good effects and bad Karma produces bad effects due to its own natural law.

There is a Karmic force or momentum of habit to continue on to do good (or bad) actions – thieves get caught eventually!

The law of Karma is not a law of reward or punishment or one that establishes so-called moral justice as this idea comes from the concept that there is a “Supreme being” a God who sits in judgment, who is it law giver and decides what is right and wrong

‘Re-birth’

It is a Re-birth of energy or activity called “Parson” and not a reincarnation of an entity called ‘Soul’
