Tidbits!

Did you know...That Karma is not solely an Eastern belief?

Though we may view Karma as a teaching of Eastern theology encompassing Buddhism, Hindu, Jain, and Sikh; Western theology has also taught something very similar known as "Laws of Cause and Consequence/Effect".  Though many different versions of which religion first founded the basic beliefs of Karma/Cause & Effect - the basic notions are the same.

Some religions link the fruits of Karma as a direct role from God, others believe that the fruits come only from oneself.  The basic concept of Karma can be viewed as "You reap what you sow", or "What goes around, comes around".  These are the common, day to day explanations of Karma. 

What one does in the past (actions) come full circle to our future.  Some faiths view it as a way of being charitable in order to receive the mercy of God upon judgment day.  Either way, Eastern vs. Western
