The best quotes and sayings about karma
We humans have become society with many everyday actions that require sacrifice. Because we want to eat meat, an animal has to die. If we buy a T-shirt for 4.99 euros, someone else has to sew it together for a pittance. And when we jet halfway around the world for a short, relaxing beach vacation, we drive the climate change which is already costing other people their existence and even their lives.
We live at the expense of others - but at some point it will affect us too. That is exactly what karma is. I would now like to give you the best sayings about karma points and the Buddhist principle of karma.

Frequently asked questions about karma
What is meant by karma?
In the ancient Indian language (Sanskrit), karma means "effect" or "deed". It is a spiritual concept according to which each of your physical or mental actions inevitably has a certain (good or bad) consequence sooner or later. For example, helping an old lady across the road is called "good karma" - and it is more likely to be "bad karma" if you deceive another person or fail to support them in an emergency situation.
How do you define karma points?
The spiritual principle of karma assumes that every action has a consequence that will eventually come back to you in a positive or negative sense. Karma points are simply used to make your own "karma level" measurable. For example, you gain karma points if you do a good deed - and lose some if you do something bad.
Is karma a good thing?
The spiritual concept of "karma" certainly helps many people in the world to behave more sensibly and better. After all, they believe that every good deed also has a good consequence - and that every bad deed also has negative consequences. Accordingly, karma is definitely a good thing. It is a moral principle that people can use as a guide.
