Karma is primarily derived from Hinduism. Hinduism views karma as the factor which causes positive effects as a result of positive a action in the past and negative effects due to a negative action in the past. They also believe in rebirth and reincarnation where one who have done good deeds in the past life would have a good role or result when they are reincarnated in their cycle of life. Jainism views karma as a physical entity which is existing everywhere. They believe that the karma particles would attach themselves to Individuals as a result of their actions, and also that it is possible for people to release themselves from karma by actions of conduct. According to Buddhism, karma refers to an intention that leads to a deed or an action. These have future consequences and it is stated that these actions must be intentional if it needs to hold karmic fruits.
