The doctrine of karma, the law of action and its results that is central to Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, is uniquely formulated in Jain philosophy. Simply stated, karma is here considered to take the form of material particles, which inhere in the soul, thus causing bondage. This process and its rationale, how it occurs and how one stops it, are minutely detailed in the Jain Karma-granthas. They also describe how one rids oneself of the karmic particles already accumulated, thus attaining liberation. The Karma-granthas form the basis of the present book, the only book in English on this subject of fundamental importance.

karma for you,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Doctrine of Karman in Jaina Philosophy (Hardcover)
If you want to know what Karma is, this book is for you. Reader beware though. Book is a difficult read if you are not accustomed to the Jaina Philosophy/lingo. Otherwise, book is very detailed and a quick read.
