Karma: a Buddhist Concept
From my reading in the book Emptiness by Guy Armstrong I also found a clearer understanding of Karma. I gathered that much of Karma is about the volitional formation behind the action in other words the intention. If your intentions are wholesome then clear Karma is generated. We are always making karma. Everything depends on prior causes and conditions.
The book Emptiness also enlightened me about the 5th aggregate of consciousness. I found it so interesting that the stream of consciousness is is thought to be reborn. I'm trying to remember the exact description but it was something of the stream of consciousness provides the nourishment for the next consciousness to arise. I may need to re-read that part to get it more exact. I had been wondering what is reborn since Buddhism says there is no actual self, no entity that can be identified as I. This book helped me understand these topics. The wisdom that the Buddha taught truly is so profound.
