Both Hinduism and Buddhism believe in the doctrine of karma, according to which actions have consequences, and beings are bound by their desire-ridden actions to the cycle of births and deaths. Both religions share common beliefs about karma and its mechanism. At the same time, they also fundamentally differ in some respects. Such differences are mainly due to the differences in their understanding and interpretation of the nature of world, creation, God, soul, reality, etc.

In Hinduism, the concept of karma grew gradually along with the Upanishadic thought. Early Vedic people seem to have possessed limited knowledge of karma. The Vedas contain rudimentary aspects of Karma only. One even gains the impression from the early Upanishads that the doctrine was not even openly discussed but kept as a secret among a few teachers and their disciples.

By the time the Buddha was born, the doctrine of karma gained popularity and formed an integral part of many religious and ascetic traditions of the Indian subcontinent. They stood in stark contrast to the fatalistic traditions of the times, which believed that everything was predetermined and the actions and choices of individuals made no difference to their fate or their existence. They believed in living as passive witnesses to the happenings and enjoying their lives to the extent possible, since they ___ ______ _________ _____ _______ ___ _______ _____ _________ _______ _____ _______.
