Looked. Didn't see proof.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma
Again, it is not merely "action"
Your link was not defining karma, but something else. Shit don't work that way
And you're link contained this:
Jack Kornfield quotes one unnamed female Buddhist teacher, wherein she talks about an "old" "realized" lama choosing a thirteen to fourteen year old nun to become his sexual consort every year.[1] After talking to "a number of Western women who had slept with their lamas" this same unnamed individual concludes the practice only benefited the lamas.[2]
[edit]
That sounds like pope shit to me!

The point of the link is to show that karma merely means action. So karmamudra translates to action seal

Your point was dismissed by the definition of karma itself. Again, it IS much more than mere "action." You are avoiding facts, not me.
You don't explain karma by defining karmamudra or karma sutra or any other words prefixed with karma. YOU DEFINE FUCKING KARMA? There's a free lesson.

I already gave you the proper definition of karma, which is action.
At this point, if you don't want to accept it, thats on you.

There's more to it  Bolded by me)
In Buddhism, karma (Pāli kamma) is strictly distinguished from vipāka, meaning "fruit" or "result". Karma is categorized within the group or groups of cause (Pāli hetu) in the chain of cause and effect, where it comprises the elements of "volitional activities" (Pali sankhara) and "action" (Pali bhava). Any action is understood as creating "seeds" in the mind that will sprout into the appropriate result (Pāli vipaka) when met with the right conditions. Most types of karmas, with good or bad results, will keep one within the wheel of samsāra, while others will liberate one to nirvāna. [citation needed]

The Gelug school (of the Dalai Lama) is the newest of the 6 schools of Tibetan Buddhism. It was founded by Tsongkhapa.
The Gelug school eventually formed a government over a part of Tibet. Previously other schools formed governments. And now there is no Tibet anymore.
OMG you are right! The pope and Dalai Lama are not exactly identical people. Since my original post said that they were both tolerant, because I had made out with the pope, is it safe to assume that you believe that I had actually made out with the pope? Is it then safe to assume that you are also an idiot?

I don't go by Wikipedia, let alone unreferenced material, let alone material someone thought dubious enough to tag with citation needed.
