Detailed explanation-1: -Buddhists try to cultivate good karma and avoid bad. However, the aim of Buddhism is to escape the cycle of rebirth altogether, not simply to acquire good karma and so to be born into a more pleasant state. These states, while preferable to human life, are impermanent: even gods eventually die.
Detailed explanation-2: -Buddha also asserted that there is karma, which influences the future suffering through the cycle of rebirth, but added that there is a way to end the cycle of karmic rebirths through nirvana.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, some false realities are based on distorted or deceptive appearances of what does exist, while others are pure projections of fantasy. Some false appearances are sensorial, and thus are perceived non-conceptually, while others are purely conceptual.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist philosophies, karma denotes the cycle of cause and effect. Like causes produce similar effects. For instance, right actions produce good results while wrong actions produce bad ones.
