In America, karma is best expressed in popular phrases like, "what goes around, comes around" and "what you sow, you will reap." Karma has also been referred to as having a "boomerang effect" where the thoughts and actions that you send out into the world turn around and come back at you. Think about that the next time you want to say or do something nasty to someone else! - Carmen Harra
What is the meaning of karma in Buddhism?
In the Buddhist tradition, karma refers to action driven by intention (cetanā) which leads to future consequences.
How do Buddhists explain karma?
Teachings about karma explain that our past actions affect us, either positively or negatively, and that our present actions will affect us in the future. Buddhism uses an agricultural metaphor to explain how sowing good or bad deeds will result in good or bad fruit.
How long can karma last?
It's a cycle so it just keeps going to the next karma until you become wise and escape this cycle of imbalance. The karma you develop today determines things in your next life. Karma doesn't end. Karma ends when it either (i) ripens and there is an effect, or (ii) is exhausted by prajñā (roughly translated as wisdom, insight, or transcendental understanding) prior to ripening.
