‘Action,. In the specifically Buddhist sense, it primarily means a morally<br>skillful or unskilful action which determines specifically the manner of<br> future existence of the doer. It is divisible as mano-karma, kāya-karma<br> and vāk-karma. The latter two can induce avijñapti-karma. Karma can<br> also be disinguished asindividual and collective karma-s, of which the<br> fruits of the latter are not regarded as vipāka,but adhipati-phala-s.  +

In this strict sense, this term is used in contradistinction from<br>other general terms designating function,potency, efficacy, etc, such as kriyā,<br>vyāpāra,sāmarthya, śakti, etc.  +
