Agree with EM. I think if Iam not too mistaken Real you are getting mixed up with the common usage in some vernacular language KARMA which is synonymous with 'fate'. Fate may vaguely resemble karma but not interchangeable with hindu doctrine karma. In you post above it is hindu karma you described as Buddist karma. It is likely Buddhists have taken hindu karma and adopted as is, just the way they accepted and adopted our rebirth doctrine. Namaste.

So I'm not really sure at all, and I'm not sure where you're getting your data or ideas from. Did someone do a survey somewhere?
