Definition

  • Karma (also karman, kamma) has been a foundational concept in Indian religions since the Vedic period (1500 BCE), appearing in various Hindu schools of thought as well as in Buddhism and Jainism. The term shifts in meaning between these traditions (and, indeed, between various streams of Hinduism). [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Karma]
