04 Karma

high-definition creative commons posters depicting Karma from Basic Buddhist Concepts, together with further information.

Karma, defined by the Buddha as volition (cetanā), denotes intentional action. It functions as a principle of action and reaction, rather than fatalistic destiny. This force drives rebirth, shaping individuality without an abiding soul (anatta). While karma accumulates, it can be modified or even obliterated through conscious awareness. Ultimately, the doctrine aims to regularize the mind, seeking freedom from all forms of bondage.
