Karma is the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one life according to that person’s deeds in the previous life. A soul will live an endless cycle of lives until they reach hallodor (an end from the cycle of rebirth) by a life of strict non-violence and repudiating the human body. After death the body is put on s stone dais in a garden. If the body is left undisturbed by the elements and animals by sunrise then it is believed that the soul has achieved hallodor. Once hallodor is achieved the soul is liberated and sent to heaven where it becomes a God and sits with the other Gods. If the body is disturbed in any way hallodor is not achieved and the soul will be reincarnated. If the body is no longer on the dais the soul will cease to exist. | Karma is the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one life according to that person’s deeds in the previous life.
