Karma and its mental residue

Karma refers both to the consequences of action and to the mental grooves, tendencies, and undigested emotional residue that persist from past choices—what Buddhists call vasana or samskara. Understanding karma pragmatically means recognizing that how you think, speak, and act today leaves traces in the mind that shape what arises tomorrow.
