Friends:
The Intention behind the Action is the Kamma!
The Blessed
Buddha once said:
It is the intention behind the action, that defines the kamma!
Having wanted, wished, & willed, one acts by body, speech, and mind.
There are actions (kamma), which cause later effects to ripen in hell!
There are actions, which cause later effects to ripen as being animal!
There is kamma, which cause later effects to ripen as a hungry ghost!
There are actions, which cause later effects to ripen as human being!
There is kamma, which cause later effects to ripen in divine states!
The result of actions (vipāka) is of three kinds: Ripening here
& now
in the present life, in immediate next life, or in future lives.
AN 6:63
Ownership and inheritance of the delayed results of action:
All beings are the owners of their
actions, inheritor of their deeds!
They are literally created by & born of their behaviour, they are tied
to their acts, & their undertakings determines their future destiny...
Whatever they do, good as bad, the delayed results of that action,
will be the theirs only...
AN 10:206
Wherever
beings spring into existence, there their actions will ripen!
Wherever the effects of their past actions matures, there, they will
earn the fruits of those deeds, be it in this life, or in the next life, or
in any other remote future life.
AN 3:33
Kamma = karma is just cause & delayed
inevitable effect!
Neither high up in the air or free space, nor deep down in the oceans,
Nor hidden inside any distant remote & secret mountain cleft or cave
Nowhere... is a place or location found in any universe, where one can
escape the inevitable later results of wrong, bad, & evil behaviour...

Advantageous kamma & Detrimental
kamma = action...
Comments: Cause & Effect. Everything arises from a reason or cause!
Doing Good gets Good! The result of
advantageous action is pleasure!
Doing Bad begets Evil!
The result of disadvantageous action is pain!
Suffering now is often the delayed result of
own past bad behaviour!
Enjoying now is often the delayed result of own past good behaviour!
Not taking responsibility for one's own life is pathetic victimization;
"The others or the circumstances did it!" playing the blame game...
