| People think that karma is doing good things = good things will happen to you, doing bad things = bad things will happen to you, this is wrong. Karma is a hindu belief that if you fulfill your duties as defined by your dharma then you will be reborn in a higher life, or even not be reborn if you were of the highest social class at birth and fulfilled your karma. |

| No, if you pay attention to people not directly around you then most people don't know this. Sort of like most people don't know that AD means Anno Domini instead of After Death. |

That's basically a more detailed explanation of the good=good and bad=bad things definition.

| Students in my county don't learn what karma really is until 9th grade World History and Geography, at least in school. |

| In a socialist view, it doesn't mean that at all. |

| @King- No, it's way different. Dharma is about your social class and doing what job you're born into, not good and bad. |

| I know it doesn't exist. This is according to the actual belief for those who don't know. |

I studied Hinduism last year for Social Studies.
Karma is basically "doing good will result in good things and doing bad will result in bad things" in a nutshell. If you do good you will be reborn in a higher life, which is a good thing. If you do bad you will be reborn in a lower class, or even an animal, which is a bad thing. Sorry if I worded it wrong last post.

| Also, Karma is represented as balance. Thus the belief it is good = good, bad = bad. |

| King, Karma isn't doing good or bad. It's fulfilling your duties as dictated by your Dharma, which is about your social class and what job you're born into and even your gender. Yes, it does include doing good, but that's a side. The main is fulfilling your social duties. |

Fulfilling your duties IS doing good, since you're being loyal to your social class.
