__Instant Karma time__
(Instant Karma time was found on __p.167__ in the novel A Tourist's Guide To Glengarry)

Karma is from an ancient word meaning action or an activity. Karma is believed to be the collection of everything a person has done, is doing and will do. People go through life and its experiences and are responsible for their own life and the emotions they inflict on others. It is described as being the law of causes and effects. The law of Karma is a central concept in the Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Ayyavazhi, Sikhism and Jainism. These religions bring together many concepts on reincarnation and the cycle of rebirth. Although Hinduism and Buddhism have different perspectives of Karma they are basically the same. Both believe in reincarnation. Buddhists believe that Karma is created only intentionally. When you do well you create good. Positive actions are believed to bring good reactions and bad actions will result in hurtful situations. The first references of Karma can be traced back to the Upanishads, which is a text in the Shruti (Hindu Scriptures that primarily discuss philosophy, meditation and the nature of God). Every living creature takes care of their own Karma and the release of their Samsara or ignorance of the true self.
