The Law of Karma and Mindfulness

By performing an act of body, speech or mind as the outcome of one's volition, one also creates a possibility to act in a similar way in future. One, so to speak, lays foundations for creating a way of behaving, a habit or a tendency. In other words, one adds some new or strengthens some old feature of one's personality, perpetuating thereby one's state of conditioned existence and determining the quality of one's future character.
