I find the posts above interesting... Let me pose a question. Take a rubber ball and bounce it on the ground many-many times. This is an action ( karman = action, action consisting in motion). Now inform me is this action good or bad ?
Take this same ball and throw it against the wall ( now we're talking a vertical wall) - is this a good or a bad action ? In both cases how does one define the action ? It has a result correct ? The ball bounces back up to one's hand. Was this action good or bad ?
Now, we take it one more step... bounce the ball again on the floor within one's apartment. The same rule applies (i.e. the laws of physics) and the ball comes back to one's hands. Yet the only difference is from the apartment owner below. S/he hears this ball bouncing again and again... to her/him it is an annoyance. To you the ball owner have no clue of this annoyance that the continued bouncing may be causing. Now tell me your thoughts: is this good or bad karma , and how do you come to your conclusions ? And who is the owner of this good-or-bad karma ?
