Vipaka — overview of meaning, background and key points, with links to related topics for context.

Vipaka (Pali) is the result of karma (intentional actions).

In Buddhism, the law of kamma-vipaka refers to any action that has a moral context. Good consequences “ripen” as a result of morally good actions, whereas bad consequences ripen from morally bad actions. The motivation of the action determines whether it is morally good or bad.
