 A Perspective on Buddhist Psychology
The doctrine of causes and effects in Buddhism asserts that both good karma and bad karma are the end results of man 's psychological and physical actions ; and that through the relation of cause and effect, man establishes his own karma with his good and evil actions.
Buddhism does not teach man to believe in, obey and worship anything that he does not know or cannot recognize ; the term Ehipasiko also implies the inner experience of enlightenment that is only known by the individual himself.
According to Buddhism, the religious consciousness and the inner individual experience are the two extremely important factors in man 's path to his enlightenment.

 Kagyu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kagyu (Wylie transliteration: Bka'-brgyud) school (known as the "Oral Lineage" and "the Spotless Practice Lineage" school) is one of four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, the other three being Nyingma (Rnying-ma), Sakya (Sa-skya), and Gelug (Dge-lugs).
Among Milarepa's many students was Gampopa (Sgam-po-pa) (1079-1153), a great scholar, who can be recognized as the real founder of Kagyu as a distinct school of Tibetan Buddhism and Rechungpa (Ras-chung-pa).
The Kagyu school traces its origins to the teachings of the Indian mystics Tilopa (988-1089) and Naropa (1016-1100), whose lineage was transmitted in Tibet by the great translator Marpa (1012-1097).

 Basic Buddhism: The Theory of Karma
The theory of Karma is a fundamental doctrine in Buddhism.
Karma determines the realm of rebirth and the state of existence in that realm of all transient being (in the cycle of existences, which have to be traversed till the attainment, at last, of Nibbana).
Such a fatalistic doctrine is not the Buddhist law of Karma.

 Fundamentals of Buddhism: Karma
Today we have come to a couple of related ideas which are common in Buddhism and they are the ideas of karma and rebirth.
Neutral karma is karma that has no moral consequence either because the very nature of the action is such as to have no moral consequence or because it is done involuntarily and unintentionally.
In this case, it is kushala or akushala karma, karma that is wholesome or unwholesome.

 Karma
Although karma is a Sanskrit word (loosely translated as action or destiny) and intimately associated with Hinduism and Buddhism, the concept is also implied in biblical passages.
Karma, in its simplest form, is a belief in the law of cause and effect, i.e., the rebirth of a soul into a lifetime where the trials and tribulations or the joys and happiness encountered may be punishment or reward for deeds done in previous incarnations.
Karma insists on the individual being responsible for his or her own deeds and misdeeds and that actions in a past or current life will give shape and substance to the individual evolution of a soul.

 Buddhism on Encyclopedia.com
With this distinctive view of cause and effect, Buddhism accepts the pan-Indian presupposition of samsara, in which living beings are trapped in a continual cycle of birth-and-death, with the momentum to rebirth provided by one's previous physical and mental actions (see karma).
Buddhism, which denied both the efficacy of Vedic ritual and the validity of the caste system, and which spread its teachings using vernacular languages rather than Brahmanical Sanskrit, was by far the most successful of the heterodox or non-Vedic systems.
Buddhism has largely disappeared from its country of origin, India, except for the presence there of many refugees from the Tibet region of China and a small number of converts from the lower castes of Hinduism.

 BUDDHISM
Some of the main doctrines of Buddhism are karma, reincarnation, and nirvana.
Buddhism is a religion that “offers the chance to be an atheist without having to dispense with religion.”[19] So in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, you can be a polytheist or an atheist.
Buddhism denies Jesus rose from the dead and denies Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
