Buddhism
In Buddhism, Karma (from Sanskrit: "action, work") is the force that drives samsara--the cycle of suffering and rebirth for each being. Good, skillful deeds (Pali: "kusala") and bad, unskillful (Pali: "akusala") actions produce "seeds" in the mind that come to fruition either in this life or in a subsequent rebirth. The avoidance of unwholesome actions and the cultivation of positive actions is called sila. Karma specifically refers to those actions of body, speech or mind that spring from mental intent (cetana), and bring about a consequence or phala "fruit" or vipaka "result".
