This variation of the Brahmanic religion is Hinduism. Hindus observe Dharma or moral law, which allows for pursuits of material gain if it is achieved in an honest and honorable fashion; pleasure and love for the perpetuation of family and moksha, release from the wheel of life and unity with Brahman. Hinduism accepts the caste system and sacrifices like traditional Brahmanic practice. The most emphasis is placed upon the individual's dedication to their gods. Development of cities and trade in the fifth and sixth centuries, B.C.E. brought about change in traditional Brahmanic practices.…
Karma is defined as the doctrine that the good and bad acts have inevitable consequences in this and future lives. In the story of Radish and Lady Leek Stem, we karma in action. Radish entrusted Lady Leek Stem, his mother, with money to give to monks who came to the door to beg. Since she did not give money to the monks, she lied to him when he returned. As a result of her lie, instead of reaching salvation, when she died she went straight to hell, where she suffered terrible torments (such as being nailed to a bed).…

The Journey to Peace Buddhists find inner peace when their values are respected. They find peace by knowing they found the most happiness possible by the end of their lifespan, which is impacted by meditation.

These actions are prohibited because they provoke negative karma, which lead Buddhists into a life of unhappiness.…

Western spirituality , new age , neo wiccan ,Neo Pagan and also known as Cali Karma beliefs , a precursor (a reaction that produces from another action) to the law of return or Threefold Law, the idea that the beneficial or harmful effects that one does , and has on the world will return to oneself , basically saying 'what goes around comes around.

Karma is often misunderstood to have a meaning of fate by many people. However, karma does not mean fate, rather it means cause and effect. Karma is applied by looking at the intention behind the actions, the effect of the action on oneself, and the effect of the action on others. For instance, a person who donates money and food to help others because it brings peace and happiness in their mind (the effect of the action on oneself) versus a person who helps others because he thinks his action will bring him good karma in the future (the intention behind the actions…

As I explore the practices of afterlife in Hinduism, I will look at Karma, Samsara, and Moksha. Karma plays an important role in what devout Hindus follow and how they make their decisions. Samsara is a repeating cycle that continues in a person's life cycle and is affected by the decisions made during their lifetime. In this paper, I will argue that the most significant point of Hinduism is breaking the cycle of samsara to achieve moksha. In order to do this, I will explore the concepts of karma and samsara in relationship with moksha.…

Hinduism served much more purpose than simply being a religion, but in a way also served as a political system. One of the defining details of Hinduism was the caste system which placed all peoples in a certain social hierarchy. The caste system called for Brahmins or priests being the head, the Kshatriya class of warriors and rulers coming second, followed by the Vaisya common class, succeeded by the Sudais class of natives and/or servants, with finally the untouchables being at the bottom of the hierarchy. The caste system was an extension of Karma, the belief that one 's actions in a past life resulted for their placement in their future lives. As a result, people seeking to move up a class in the next life did their duties to their certain class in the present life.…
