The Beginner’s Guide to Karma: How to Live with Less Negativity and More Peace( English Book) By Lama Lhanang Rinpoche, Mordy Levine

Two practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism unravel the complexities of karma, an idea widely known but little understood in the modern West.

Western science has discovered that the physical world operates according to universal laws of nature, such as the law of gravity and the laws of motion. Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma. The law of karma holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form in this lifetime or a future one. Today, most Westerners have a passing familiarity with the concept of karma, which amounts to "what goes around comes around." This is true as far as it goes, but it merely scratches the surface of a complex and fascinating topic.
