Karma is a principle, which basically entails that your actions have an influence onto the future. Consequently, good actions will bring good Karma and bad actions will bring bad Karma [1]. It is in accordance with Newton’s Third Law, which states that “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” [2].

In this picture series we will elaborate more on bad karma and how a bad action can cause an instant backlash. Take a look and be sure to avoid bad karma yourself in future (or you might end up in a picture series about bad karma yourself). Furthermore, in this instance one could even speak of “Instant Karma” since what goes around comes around.

However, the examples shown below are presented in order to entertain. One cannot evaluate fully of how bad the karma actually was. Nevertheless, Karma is a Pali term for action and some of the actions presented below can surely be considered actionable [3].

Moreover, “The theory of Karma is a fundamental doctrine in Buddhism. This belief was prevalent in India before the advent of the Buddha. Nevertheless, it was the Buddha who explained and formulated this doctrine in the complete form in which we have it today.
