Karma measured how well a Rokugani performed their soul duty. How well this was done would follow the soul into their next life. [1]
Cycle of Rebirth[]
The soul of every extant human, demon, animal, ancestor spirit, and god had always existed, repeatedly reincarnating upon death. Upon reincarnation, a soul's karma, the spiritual weight of its most recent life's deeds, determined their form and destination. The worst offenders became the underworld's demons and hungry ghosts. Those of middling stature became animals or humans. The most virtuous become sorei. [2]
Fortunism and Shinseism View on Karma[]
The Fortunes held that karma came in good and bad varieties, and that positive and prosocial actions accrued good karma proportional to the effort spent on the action and its effect. Shinsei theorized that all karma was "bad." He taught that every action generated karma, which bounnd the individual to the reincarnation cycle, although actions motivated by fear, regret, or especially desire generated more. [2]
