In Theravada teaching, kamma concerns intentional action. This invites attention to what we do, say, and hold in mind rather than reducing life to a fixed story about fate.
The importance of intention does not make consequences unimportant. It helps us recognize a space for choice in the present. Kamma is not a claim that every outcome is predetermined.
Honesty, generosity, and care in daily decisions are practical places to begin. When a mistake is made, we can acknowledge it, learn from it, and begin again with a wiser intention.
