From a Buddhist perspective karma means causality, cause and effect. it appears to offer a reliable explanation for what we observe all around us.
Put simply, most phenomenon that are impermanent cannot arise independently so are subject to causes and conditions. Where there is a cause there will be an effect. This rule could be applied to the movement of the planets, workings of a computer or human behaviour.
The 2 Major religions of Ancient India is Buddhism and Hindus.
There are not two but numerous religions in India. Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism etc are some of them.
Both Hindus and Buddhists believe in:reincarnationNirvanaan immortal presence for each person
sure
Both are Dharmic religions based on the law of karma and belief in reincarnation. Some differences of approach are there, but the ultimate aim of both is Moksha(Hindu) or Nirvana(Buddhism). Buddhism was actually born of Hinduism. The basic difference is this. Hindus believe in an eternal existence of self which can eventually merge into a greater self (Atman). Buddhists, however, believe that the self(ego) is ultimately transitory, and its elimination is freedom from material existence which is suffering. They are really quite different approaches with very different endpoints, yet the practices (meditation, chanting, self-discipline) and effects (happiness, serenity) are very similar. Both realize that life seen through the bodily senses is not the ultimate reality which is transcendent to the material world.
Hinduism has no special symbol for 'karma'. However, in buddhism, the 'wheel' is the symbol of karma.
