Understanding Vipaka - Fruition of Karma

Karma is action, and Vipaka, fruit or result, is its reaction.

The Samyutta Nikaya states:

"According to the seed that’s sown,

So is the fruit you reap there from,

Doer of good will gather good,

Doer of evil, evil reaps,

Down is the seed and thou shalt taste

The fruit thereof."
