only_help.pdfOnly We Can Help Ourselves3579 viewsKamma is an interesting subject because it concerns everyone and there are many different aspects of it. There are many natural laws that govern our lives but the most important is the law of kamma-vipaka. In a discourse (A.N. 6.63) the Buddha said, Intention, monks, is kamma I say.

The result may ripen immediately, later in this life or in a future life.
