As said before, this thread is about Buddhism. And karma IS a huge part of Buddhism. Hello, the Dalai Lama references it all the time. Have you ever seen the film, "The Unmistaken Child"? Kinda crazy stuff there.
Yes I did see Unmistaken Child. Whats so crazy about it?
Karma is "not a huge part of Buddhism," let alone the pop understanding of karma. Karma just means action is Sanskrit. And thats what it simply means in Buddhism.
