Law of Karma
Buddhism lays strong emphasis on the law of Karma. Karma is a Sanskrit word which means action or to do. Buddha taught that whatever happens to us today is because of our actions of the past. Good things happen to us because of our good Karma of the past and we suffer because of our bad Karma. We may get disheartened by the fact that we cannot change our past and thus we are completely helpless. Fortunately, as a corollary of this law, we are in complete charge of our future. If we resolve to engage in good Karma from now on, we can ensure alleviation of suffering in future.
It is also true that when we are work for others for their welfare we tend to focus less on ourselves. That sets us on the path of selflessness or realization of Emptiness of the self. Realization of Emptiness of the self is crucial for Enlightenment in Mahayana tradition,
