Well, that's exactly what I have always thought Karma means, simply put, you do good and good will follow, you do bad and you will pay for it somehow, again action and consequence so that makes sense.

I read up briefly on the Buddha and where it started and was surprised to find out that Buddhism it's not much different from the bible I think because it was a human being like you and me who sat under a tree and all of a sudden was "enlightened" and thus began this religion. This is what as mentioned in my original post was always bothering me, that a religion gets started by a man's words? My question to you guys then would be, why wouldn't you believe in the bible but would beleive in Buddhism?
