1. The Five Universal Laws
In Buddhism, there are 5 universal orders or laws (Niyamas) that operate in the physical and mental realms.
They are:
a) Utu Niyama: the caloric or physical inorganic order, e.g., seasonal changes of weather, nature of heat, energy, chemical reactions, etc.
b) Bīja Niyama: germinal or physical organic order, e.g., rice from rice seeds, sweet taste of sugar, different ways of plant propagation, etc.
c) Kamma Niyama: moral or cause and effect order. Moral and immoral acts produce desirable and undesirable results.
d) Citta Niyama: order of mind or psychic law, e.g., processes of consciousness, power of mind, telepathy, mind reading, recollection of past lives, divine eye, psychic power, etc.
e) Dhamma Niyama: order of the norm, e.g., the natural phenomena occurring at the advent of a Bodhisatta in his last birth, gravitation and other similar laws
The Law of Kamma is a fundamental doctrine in Buddhism
Karma is not an external force, not a system of punishment or reward dealt out by a god. The concept is more accurately understood as a natural law similar to gravity. Buddhists believe we are in control of our ultimate fates. The problem is that most of us are ignorant of this, which causes suffering.
